Hello

Do you have son Evan Bowen on any census??

Why have you posted on Cardigan board and yet Evan was b Carmarthen??

Did they live in Cardigan??

if we can trace Evan back on the census we may find Thomas .

Was Thomas a beer seller??

Hi thanks Suzard and Ospray
Looks like evan bowen could be the one as he was born in 1835,
All that i have is that evan married maria badger 1870 newport shropshire and he died in 1903 newport as said it he dad we coould not find.thanks david

[osprey]

do you have his marriage cert to find out father's name & occupation?

marriage reg sept qtr 1870 Newport Shropshire vol 6a pg 1245

1871 census he gives his place of birth as Llanybyther, but there's more one Evan Bowen in Llanybyther with a father Thomas in 1841.
