Tracing my father's family tree; my grandmother Emily Eva Craig was born Emily Eva EVANS to David Jon Evans and Emily Jane Richard in Stockton in 1889. Looking for birth record and thus parents of her father, David Jon EVANS (married Emily Jane Richard in 1882 in Wallsend)
Family stories suggest the Evans' line originates in Wales but am not sure how far back; ie is David from Wales or born here?
thankyou in anticipation of any assistance, regards mcvicars

I think you may need to get the 1882 marriage Certificate.
Do you have information on when David Jon Evans Died?

His Death Certificate, should you choose to get it, may show when he came to Australia if he wasn't born here. It may also have where he was born.

This looks like a possible for his birth.

Thankyou so much Sue and bikermickau!! What wonderfully helpful people you are!! I have only recently started researching family tree ( the death of my mum prompted me to capture the past) I had stated on my maternal grandmother's side and Rootschat people on the Scotland site were amazingly helpful - indeed Im currently in UK and going to visit my grandmother's birth town in next fortnight. I had less success with Australian side and now you guys have started me down the right tracks - just ever so grateful
