Hi David,
thanks for the offer. I only have the one request, but this brickwall has been around now for about 3 years. It would be great to start chipping away at it.
I'm looking for the baptism of a John Evans, son of Evan and Elinor Evans, in Conwil Caio.
His ages vary from census to census:
1841: 14 (1827)
1851: 30 (1821)
1860 (marriage): 32 (1828)
1861: 32 (1829)
1871: 50 (1821)
1881: 60 (1821)
1891: 70 (1821)
1901: 75 (1826)
1905 (burial): 76 (1829)
However there is only one John Evans in the 1841 census for Caio, with father Evan. They are living at Henffordd, Conwil Caio. Evan is a cooper, which seems to confirm I have the correct family, as John was also a cooper. I presume such a trade would be passed from father to son.
To be on the safe side, here are Johns siblings (John was the eldest):
David b:1828; Mary- b1831; James 1833; Elenor 1837; Elizabeth 1838; Anne 1841; Thomas 1843; Daniel 1844; Jane 1845 and Lettice 1850.
Assuming the second son's age is correct, then John's birth would be about 1826 ish.
I hope thats enough to find the right one - I'm not sure though whether the family were non conformist or not.
If you also have time/chance, the marriage of Evan and Elinor would be gratefully received ;-)
Send me a PM if anything is unclear.
Much obliged.
