Another: 02/11/1828 -  Llanfihangel Ysceifiog : Birth of William Evans to William Evans and Eleanor of Ty'n Y Lon, father referred to as a collier.  Thanks Huwcyn

looking at the note next to the end of Evans. I think it may say "Arle 10/7/83" but I'm not at all sure. Any help would be really appreciated. Donna.

I am searching for information of the family of William Evans and Ellen Owens, Anglesey. I am searching with clues of information, nothing concrete like the name of a town! I would appreciate any information and/or help, as it may help me to connect the dots.
 
William Evans was born Anglesey, 1829.
Parents: William Evans, miner and  Ellen/Ellin Owens

He was apparently British Merchant Seaman ? year of apprenticeship

Arrived in Australia in 1850's as ships crew.
Worked within Australian waters for a time before officially emigrating 1858 taking government position ?customs boat Williamstown, Melb.

Married, Geelong, Vic. Children's names (which may be family names) - first born Thomas, second Mary Ellen, (spouse's mother recorded as Mary), William James, Kathrine Elizabeth (spouse Irish lass, Catherine/Kathrine), and Henry.

On his death certificate in 1885, beside the details of his father is a notation, 10/7/83 which may imply the date of his fathers death. (wish I could see how to attach)  there is also a name ?town next to date) ?Arle ?Aile
