Trying to find the link!
« on: Sunday 13 September 15 14:40 BST (UK) »
When my husband moved to Llanysul from Swansea in the 1970's a number of local families said that he was related to them. He recalled his great uncle travelling to Llandysul every year for his holiday and staying at various farms in the area. The connection seems to be with an Evans family who had members living in Gilfachwen, Dan Coed on the Pontweli to Pentrecwrt Road,Llwynpur Drefach, Penlan in Croeslan and Brafle Drefach. I've managed to get the Swansea side of the Evans family back to my husbands Great grandfather Thomas Evans who was born in 1865 - at the moment I don't know who his parents were so will have to get his marriage cert to Mary Mayberry in 1886. Any thoughts please!

When you have the marriage certificate let us know who the parents are. I assume you know where they married?

Hi Cardiff, have just picked up the marriage cert for Thomas Evans and Mary Mayberry 24 5 1886. It gives Thomas' father as Rees Evans. Am in the process of looking at the 71 and 81 to see if I can find the family.
