Who was Walter?
« on: Saturday 15 February 14 18:52 GMT (UK) »
BC 15 August1839, Elizabeth daughter of Griffith Roberts and Margaret Roberts, formerly Evans at Trawsgoed, parish of Llannor.
I've drawn a blank when looking for them on 1841 census.
1851 census has them at Pennrhydlyniog,Deinio, Pwllheli.
HO 107, piece 2513, Folio 325, page 22.
This shows Margaret as born c 1817.

MC April 20 1839 at the Parish Church, Llannor
Griffith Roberts and Margaret Evans.
Bride  Margaret Evans of full age, spinster living at home with her parents, Trawsgoed, father's name Evan Evans.

Following Evan Evans I have 1841 census
HO 107, piece 1390, Book 7, Folio38, page 6.
Evan Evans  age 65
Elizth Evans  age 60
Walter Evans age 15
Elizth Evans   age 1

Elizth Evans age 1  could possibly be Elizaberh, daughter of Margaret except for the surname but I have seen other instances of grandchildren being recorded as having the same name as the head of the household.
But I can not find Walter.  Was he Evan and Elizabeth's son or grandson?
Any help or suggestions welcomed.
Thanks

So Walter was Margaret's brother.
Also for the 1851 her  birth year has been adjusted !!!!!
Thank you
