John and Catherine lived all their life in Llanaelhaern and Trevor(Trefor). Catherine died 7 March 1929 and John on 12 October 1929. They are buried in Llanaelhaearn.
They had 12 children 10 of which had survived by the 1911 Census in Eifl Road, Trevor.
Emyr there are many other newspaper reports on Robert Evans some of them amusing. The first traffic offence I found when he was fined for leaving his horse and cart unattended on the turnpike. Robert had a stubborn streak, when the vicar in Llanaelhaearn died Robert agreed to buy his cow but then refused to pay when the cow suddenly died. He was taken to court and lost. Robert’s barrister told the reporter that he had advised his client he had no chance of winning.
Here is an obituary from the North Wales Chronicle. 18/6/1915
Mr Robert Evans, cattle dealer, Llanaelhaiarn, who was 77 years of age, died very suddenly yesterday week.
For over fifty years he carried, on business as a cattle dealer and was well known throughout North and South Wales. In his younger years he used to walk cattle to Birmingham, London, Bradford and other places, and would be on the road for a week or more during one journey alone.
