Wiltshire / Re: Couple of marriages I can't find

The Salter / Drivers do seem to swap names - I have a Sarah Driver who I think is the daughter of William Salter (?) but I have never seen her with the name Salter - now having done DNA there are lots of matches to Salter connections.

I have some matches which are shared matches but I have a first cousin once removed and our second cousin twice removed - these don't show up as shared matches - what am I doing wrong?

Cardiganshire / Re: Age of Executor - will of Daniel Rowland d Llangeitho 1790

Hi
Thank you so much for posting this - a great find and possibly shows that the will was a little confusing about who witnessed and executed it etc.

Carmarthenshire / Re: Ideas re James Evans - a disappearing Policeman
« on: Wednesday 16 July 14 14:39 BST (UK) »Hi
I can't see James in the 1871 census in Wales or England either.
Did James register Louisa's death? If so, was his address the same as hers? Have you checked the 1871 census to see who was living in King Street? Have you followed up the children to see if James is with them?
There is also this death registration which seems to fit if the family had moved from Tenby.
Deaths Sep 1870 Evans James 63 Carmarthen 11a 412

Hi Barbara
james registered Louisa's death and gave the address as King Street (no number
). Have checked on the kids in 1871 and daughter Louisa was training to be a nurse in London and he not with any of the older kids (his first marriage) that I can find.Thanks for the other death ref - had missed that - I would not be surprised if that was him (and would explain his elusiveness in 1871) - he retired from the Met in 1857 on the grounds of ill health aged 50 and I was a bit surprised to find he was still around when Louisa E died. Will get cert and see what it shows

Carmarthenshire / Re: Ideas re James Evans - a disappearing Policeman
« on: Wednesday 16 July 14 14:33 BST (UK) »Are you sure about St Peter's ? There are burials at St David's for Louisa Elinora Evans aged 63 in 1869 and Ellen Harriet Evans aged 13 in 1866. Both King St.
Hi shaun - thanks, I misread the Saint! those are the 2 I was referring to.

Carmarthenshire / Ideas re James Evans - a disappearing Policeman
« on: Wednesday 16 July 14 11:12 BST (UK) »
James Evans was b in Kennington Surrey 1806 - was inspector / superintendent of met police
married first time (don't know wife's name)
Married second time in London 1849 to Louisa Eleanora Johnson nee Morgan originally of Dolgoch, Nr Newcastle Emlyn
They appeared in Tenby in 1861 with daughters Louisa Sara and Ellen Harriet.
Louisa dies in Carmarthen (King St) in 1869 - death cert says husband was retired inspector of met police - her age was given as 42 but the burial cert at St Peter's gives 62 which was more likely
daughter Ellen Harriet had died aged 13 in 1866 - burial was again at St peter's.
I can't find what happened to James - I found another St peter's burial of James Evans, King St in 1875 but have just got the cert and occupations / informant is wrong (unless he had become a bell hanger master and boot and shoe maker) .
I can't find him in the 1871 census
Any ideas?

Cardiganshire / Age of Executor - will of Daniel Rowland d Llangeitho 1790
« on: Monday 09 June 14 21:28 BST (UK) »
Rev Daniel Rowland wrote his will in 1784, 6 years before he died. In it he named his wife Elinor as one executor. The other executor was Daniel Rowland, son of Nathaniel Rowland, Clerk
An addition at the bottom of the will states to the effect that Rev Daniel Rowland's son Nathaniel and his son Daniel should be executors.
my problem is dating the birth of the younger Daniel. Nathaniel's DOB is generally given in biographies as 1749 but presumably young Daniel would have had to be 21 at the time of the will writing etc ? or is that not necessarily the case?
(I have the births of other children of Nathaniel as Elizabeth in 1775 and Louisa in 1785.)
