hi Keyboard
That's great, thank you so much for the details, more than I expected and I'm thrilled to bits. What a coincidence, both wives were named Evans. I wonder if Sarah was Alice's mother given the age difference between Richard and Alice?
Thanks, Roy

hello Wilcoxon
Some interesting details there and many thanks for your help. Thanks too to Keyboard. I still wonder if Sarah and Alice were related which would make sense of the suddenness of the marriage. That's me thinking out loud; regards to both and many thanks one again.
