Hi David

Thank you very much for the info.  I have Benjamin (son of Evan) down as being born in 1894, I could be wrong.  The Benjamin in the info,  was he the son.  Also I cannot find Evan in any other census apart from 1911.  Any info is grateful.

Regards

I find it interesting that Llanfihangel Ystrad came so close to Lampeter as members of my family from Betws Bldrws had marriage connections there.  I imagined it was nearer the coast and wondered how they could travel so far,.  Thank you Sandra
