I'd be very grateful if anyone could find out anything about an "Evans" family who lived here around 200 years ago. This would include a David (Born circa 1805) , his father Evan, a wife Elizabeth (also Evans prior to marriage) , a daughter Mary and a son , probably also Evan.

Check welshnewspapers online for "Sarnau bach".
There's a lengthy tribute to "E. S. Evans, Ysw, mab David, ac wyr i'r diweddar hybarch Evan Evans, Sarnau Bach ..."
(Gladgarwr, 2 Feb 1867)

That's him. He emigrated to the United States in 1844, and I'm helping a descendant. The American family seem to have mixed up 'Llanbadarn Odwyn' and 'Llanbadarn y Creuddyn' , and for the wife, 'Llanarthen' (Carmarthen) with what I think is Llangeitho.

Possible?
1870 U.S Census
David Evans, 65, miner, born Wales
Elizabeth Evans, 62, born Wales
Miles Evans, 28, born Ohio
The are living in Tallmadge, Summit County, Ohio - a suburb of Akron. The Gladgawr article refers to Evan and parents arriving 1844 and parents settling in Akron (although Miles' birth year is 1842 according to census)

FindMyPast baptisms (image)
23 March 1807, David son of Evan Evans of Gilfachgoch by Elizabeth his wife, place Llangeitho, Cardiganshire

Yes , I'd been considering that. Its quite a way to the south, but its a possibility. Am I right in thinking that Llanbadarn records do not exist in online form ? I'm wary of suggesting dates until I know that I've considered and discounted them.

FindMyPast has Llanbadarn baptisms on line - cannot see a David Evans that "fits" the 1805 birth/baptism year.
Have deleted remainder of post - not relevant!

HanesTeulu, where are you finding Llanbadarn Fawr baptisms online from before 1813? I have family from there and I was pretty sure that before 1813 or so, they're not online?
That marriage is rather too early for the David & Elizabeth having children in the 1830s.
- noticed you've deleted the marriage info!
How sure about Elizabeth's maiden name are the family? I can see a couple of possibles in Aberffrwd Calvinistic Methodist for children of David Evans & Elizabeth Jones
John bp 30 Sep 1832, born 2 July 1832
Evan bp 18 Dec 1836, born 18 Oct 1836
But that could be a coincidence, given the less than unusual names.

I was confusing Llanbadarn Fawr, outskirts Aberystwyth with the Parish of Llanbadarn Fawr (Radnorshire).
