Thank you all for replying to my post and apologies for my late response.
In retrospect i should have posted some dates,etc. ,the time period runs from about 1840 onwards.
I have quite a bit of detail which is listed below-
Timothy Evans [1828-1887] was one half of Phillips and Evans,Drapers,Merthyr. He lived at 11,Courtlands Terrace,Merthyr. I knew about his son's tragic accident but had not seen the newspaper report-thank you to Mar. I also have a large amount of information about Timothy ,but what i'd like to find out is more about his business [where it was located,etc.],his other interests [religion,masonic connections] or any thing that can't be easily accessed online.
John Evans[b1847] ran a Drapers shop at 92,Taff Street,Pontypridd in 1881 again I'm looking for similar information to the above as i have the census records so have I believe all of his children.
James Evans[b1863] in 1901 ran a Drapers at 144 Commercial Road,Newport,again I'm looking for similar information to the above but I'm also keen to find out any info. regarding his daughters-Elsie[b1894],Blanche[b1896] and Olive[b1899].
I have another John Evans[1885-1962] as well who lived in Newbridge and I suspect that he also ran a Drapers shop there.
I would like to hear from anybody who might have connections to the above or any others who have Evans the drapers in their families not listed above as I believe there could be others that I'm unaware of.
All the above were born in Pencarreg or Llanybyther in Carmarthenshire and that's where my Evans relations originate from. I am aware of one other Evans from Pencarreg who ran a Drapers in Bedwellty but don't have a firm family connection to him.
Thank you,regards,Dafydd
