Glad to hear that you have made progress. Thanks for the feedback.

You should now be able to find them on the earlier census', hence their parents and siblings.

How are you getting on with the translations?

Not much progress with these two. They haven't come to light in the 1871, by which time they were married with several children. I only have them from 1881-1901.
I have Hannah only in 1851 before this- no sign of William. I'll try a census look-up request; someone may strike lucky.
Thanks for your interest.

Hi there

I am trying to help my mother-in-law find her gg and grand parents.

I have William Evans who was a smallholder in the Llandeilo area (GG parent) and his son as Ebenezer Evans born 1876, who married Mary Anne Hughes.  I have the address as Ally-y-grug Road in Ystalyfera.

I looked at the census and this is what I found so far:
EVANS, William    Head     Married    M    46    1835   Lab In Iron Wks
Llandysil
Cardiganshire, Wales VIEW
EVANS, Hannah   Wife      Married    F     38   1843
Llandilo
Carmarthenshire, Wales VIEW
EVANS, Eleanor    Daughter Single       F    19   1862 Servant
Ystalyfera, Glamorganshire, Wales VIEW
EVANS, David       Son         Single     M      15 1866 Laborer

EVANS, Ebenezer Son        Single    M        5   1876

Hello Cee,
The bad news is these aren't the same family! It's so difficult to trace people with these typical Welsh names, isn't it? My "lot" were farmers in the Llandilofawr area and many are buried at the chapel there. One of these days, I'll get there to see the monuments for myself.
Good luck with your research,
