I think I found my gg-grandfather, William Evans on 1841 and 1851 Census living in Llanwinio, Carmarthenshire. However, his birthplace states Mynachlogddu, Pembrokeshire (also spelled Monachlogdu, Manachlogdu and various other ways). It was mis-spelled on the 1841 Census. I have spent many hours at the Family History Center in Salt Lake City, Utah reading microfilm, searching every parish church in the general area for him, but can't find his christenening or birthdate. His birth would be abt. 1797. Does anyone out there have any ideas as to how I could find him? I'm about ready to hire a professional genealogist.

If you find his marriage that should give a fathers name and might help with other sibblings ,bishops transcripts have missing details i know as i have a marriage certificate for henrys moat parich church but the marriage isnt in the bishops transcript.
You might need to see the original parish records if they still exist ,or try tithe records,hearth taxes esp if you can get a fathers name.
whereabouts in pembroke is Mynachlogddu
hope thats of help.

Thank you for the info. I will continue to search using some of the ideas you gave me. Mynachlogddu is near the Carmarthenshire border.
