looking for the following on 1841;
Eliza (Elizabeth) Evans born 1835 Merthyr
only info i have is from marriage cert (1855) and father is David Evans, occ. iron founder.
She marries as Eliza, but on the gravestone she is Elizabeth.
marriage cert shows her living Aberdare at time of marriage.
1861 census has her born Merthyr.
Any help gratefully received.

There are four living with parents in 1851. Do you know the father's name? ???

Duh!! just read it again!! Could this be her:
Georgetown
Evans David hd 44 Rail straightener b. c.1807 Pem (little) Newcastle
Evans Mary wf 37 b.c.1814 Pem Puncheston
Evans Thomas son 18 Iron Roller b.c.1833 Pem 9LITTLE) Newcastle
Evans Elizabeth Dau 15 b.c. 1836 Mertyr Tydfil
Evans Eleanor Dau 13 b. c. 1838
Evans John son 7 b. c. 1844
Evans Ann Dau 4 b. c.1847
Evans David son 1 b.c. 1850
All the children after Elizabeth are born in Merthyr! ;)

Not with it today but the 9 is meant to be a bracket next to the mother. Hope it helps. It was the only Elizabeth in 1851 with a father David.

Hi Badgirl,
Thanks for that.
I have had a nightmare with this part of my "family". Elizabeth married my g.g.grandfather and had 4 children with him, but died aged 30. He then went on to marry my g.g.grandmother and he had another 8 children with her, plus adopted 2 "Evans". So placing 14 children with the right parents....aaargh!
He was buried with his 1st wife and a baby (1month old) .
That seems like the right family, as one of the adopted is David Evans 1850 Merthyr. I'll go see if i can find them on 1861 with another son Evan (1854) as he's the other.
Again thanks, Jane

Thanks Anna,
I've had some brilliant help since being here, all down to stallc getting me to come over.
I'm off to Wales next week and have been invited to the colliery my grandfather worked at after prompting from the lovely Cardiff for me to get in touch with them.
So, yes, it is a great site!!

Thanks Cas, would have replied earlier but had to go to hairdressers....cant be going to visit with all my grey showing!!
That is them.
Elizabeth's not really mine but her children were and I've lost some of them along the way. Thought they may be with grandparents, but then I think 2 of her brothers ended up with her and my g.g.grandfather.
Need to get digging again.
Be in touch soon, Jane
