I am on a quest to turn family lore into real life details.
Felinfach > Aberaeron > My 2nd great grandfather being born (1842) on ship in the port of Aberaeron > Immigration to Canada and then to the US and the State of Ohio where a large number of Welsh folks settled.
Living in the Felinfach area was my 3rd great grandfather, Charles Evan Evans and we believe he married a Mary Thomas. We are not sure when they married (before 1842)
My 2nd Great Grandfather also Charles Evan Evans was born (at least that is the lore) on ship in the port of Aberaeron. Siblings may have been born in Wales – John, Nell and Sally (before 1842).
A Great Uncle of mine, also Charles Evan Evans visited Felinfach in 1981 and had drinks with a Wynn Davies and talked about the possibilities of our Evans ancestors.
A removed cousin of mine, Garnet Deem and her children Anne and Henry visited in the 1950’s and were able to add their names to the Church record.
The Church looks to be St. Michaels / Ystrad Aeron from the pictures that I have and the retelling of visits to Felinfach.
In any event, I am looking to break through the Felinfach Brick Wall of Evans Lore for Charles Evan Evans and Mary Thomas. Is there a record of marriage on or around the late 1830’s or early 1840’s along with any other info about other children, the greater allied families, and further ancestry?
Help or direction would be tremendously appreciated.
Thanking you in advance,
