Phew, just got back from hospital with daughter !!!  The certificate says Reg district LLANELLY , birth in the sub district of Llanelly in the county of Carmarthen.  Still doesn't explain where Powell Place, Seaside  is / was. Does anyone know of a map I can look at online for around 1892 which shows streets?

Thanks Rosie, that is very usefull to know. I don't know of any siblings yet. As I said, I only found out today the mum was called Elizabeth.  Its very kind of you to help me. I obviously have a lot to learn!! Can anyone explain what the 'urban' thing was as I don't know? And why put USD on a certificate?

Hi and thanks for the USD explanation (whatever it means)!! No I haven't looked at the census yet as I only got the certificate today but I will try to soon. (stuck at home at the mo with daughter who has broken back). His middle name was Llewellyn.

It is Llanelly, and which question were you answering? I think his mum worked as a domestic as it says 'Laundress' for her occupation. Maybe her boss was Evan's dad? (well it did happen)!! If thats so, I found 'Llanelly House' on the website but she could have worked at another house. He lived with a woman and had kids between 1919 and 1929 when she died in childbirth. Her name was Florence May DOYLE. (also in Llanelly)

 ::)I have just begun to do my tree on my side and face an undaunting time as its in Wales with the name 'Evans'. My grandfather's birth certificate says he was born in 1892 in Powell Place, Seaside, US(?) (can't read last letter) His mum was Elizabeth Evans with no father named.  I can't find a 'Powell Place' and don't know what the US- means? My grandad's name was Evan Llewellyn Evans and he married a Annie Mary Veasey in 1928 (also Llanelly). Can anyone enlighten me with the place names?
