Looking for birth of Pierce Evans 1823
« on: Tuesday 10 April 18 16:27 BST (UK) »
I would be grateful for any help in finding information regarding Pierce Evans born 1823 in Llanrhychwyn, Nr Trefriw, Caernarvonshire. I have all the information after 1850 when he married Margaret Jones and onwards. The birth could have been registered in Llanrwst as that was the nearest place to register. I believe his mother was Jane but she must have married again as Pierce & Margaret are living with her on the 1851 Census and her surname is Griffiths. As yet I haven't sent for the Marriage certificate so I don't know his father's name.

I'm afraid it isn't keyboard. The marriage was registered in Llanrwst 1850, as Llanrwst was the nearest place to register BMD's. Margaret was born 1826 Llanrhychwyn which is near Trefriw, I am also looking for her Parents as well. Thanks for looking  :)

 :) That would seem to suggest that their were two Pierce Evans marrying a Margaret Jones in Sept qtr 1850 Caernarvonshire, I can only locate one on Freebmd?

This is an error by FindmyPast - the image shows the marriage  took place at Llanrhychwyn parish church, not Llanrug.

Curiously there is also a marriage of Pierce Evans, labourer, son of Richard Evans, farmer to Ann Jones, dau of John Jones, farmer at Llanrhychwyn parish church on 26 May 1849. Pierce Evans is a bachelor in both cases and the abode differs - Tai Uchaf in 1849 and Ffrith Uchaf in 1850. Just an unfortunate coincidence ???
