I am looking for Evan Jones
From Censuses I have for him:
1851 Evan Jones 51 abt 1800 Llanfihangel, Carmarthenshire,
1861 Evan Jones 59 abt 1802 Llanfihangel-Rhos-y-Carn, Carmarthenshire,
1871 Evan Jones 70: abt 1801 Llanegwad, Carmarthenshire, Wales
Please where should I look for a possible christening/baptism?

looks to be Llanfihangel Rhos y Corn

couple of possible Evans around the time in that parish
12 Jan 1801 Evan, son of David John & wife Catherine of Nant y Castell
if patronymic naming, 12 June 1803 Evan, son of John Lewis & wife Mary
or could be non-conformist and may not be online.

Many thanks for that
I have also found a baptism for Evan son of Evan and Margaret Jones 22 Jan 1804 but in Llanpumsaint is that too far out? My Evan's first child was Margaret which is why this one caught my eye
-
bit too far away I think and also not what he says on census

The parish entry for that baptism shows Evan to be the reputed son of Evan Jones & Margaret Griffiths
-
great so at least that's one out of the way many thanks. That is a great map too I've bookmarked it.
Oh dear I thought Evan Jones was going to be the easiest of the Welsh line William Davies from Narberth son of Benjamin is proving to be a nightmare too.

I've got non-conformists in Pembrokeshire with common surnames which means I can't be sure of anything before 1800. Possibly why I spend so much time on here...

Deepest sympathy Osprey! One day we'll find them all! I hope but time is running out I fear, my teeth are now very long and patience getting short ;D
