Evans family of Limerick..

[gina_l]

Hello! I have been looking for any information of the ancestors of my direct ancestor Henry Evans, Henry Evans died in 1810 in Madras and left his nephew George de Lacy Evans to care for his children.(His children were Henry Evans and Anna Maria who married Richard Quin Sleeman)

What I know is that Henry Evans had a brother named John who married Mary Anne Lacy and they had 3 sons: George de lacy Evans, John Evans and Richard Lacy Evans and also a daughter named Elizabeth who m. John O'Leary.

I've felt Ive gone through every record out there but I'm not getting anywhere!

In 'The irish landed gentry when Cromwell came to Ireland' by John O'Hart there is a page about the 'De lacy evans pedigree' but I have not gotten anywhere trying to use that as a guide for my research.

The other tricky part is that another Evans family in Limerick was The Lord Carberry's and they have similar names to my ancestors, but these are not the people I am looking for.

Henry Evans who died in Madras left over £3,000 which tells me they must have been quite well to do back in Ireland.

This is the quickest I could sum it up, but like I said I have gone through what feels like every record related to Ireland, with the Evans name and its almost as if these people are just gone.

If anybody has any advice/help I will be so grateful.
