I'm unable to find a Baptism for Evan Rees. If the family followed the 'Welsh Namimg Pattern', - then I would expect Evan's Father to be a William Rees.

Cheers, Romilly.

Hi cannot at present locate a baptism, but would I be correct he remarried a Mary Lloyd in March qtr 1861 Swansea 11a 579 in 1861 b c 1812 Morriston?
Census ref RG09/4097/90/25

Yes Keyboard, - that is correct. My Link is through his first Marriage. He married Anne Williams, born 1812 @ Llangyfelach Parish Church on the 11th April 1830. Anne died on the 11th April 1853. He then remarried, to Mary Lloyd.

As the Marriages are in the Parish Church, I thought the Baptism might be too, - but I can't see one:-(

There's this one on Family Search, but I'm unsure where Glyncorrwg is?

That's probably unlikely then... (I wasn't sure where it was).

He says on most of the Censuses that he was Born Llangyfelach/Morriston.

Yes that one seems to be the Evan Rees 42 b Glyncorrwg in 1851 Census

His son, (also Evan Rees, my GreatGrandfather, 1836 - 1927) was Baptised in the Wesleyan Tabernacle Chapel in Tontine Street Swansea in December 1836, - and so it's quite likely that his father was also a Chapel Baptism, - but I can't see one for him...

It's very puzzling:-(

I think that this one is a definate possibility, - (mainly due to the Parent's names. Evan Rees's son George named one of his daughter's Lena).

I think that 'Pyle and Kenfig' was a Chapel? Does anyone know?
