Evan Roberts (Corwen)
« on: Wednesday 19 April 06 17:47 BST (UK) »
Hi,
  Does anybody know anything of an Evan Roberts (believed born Corwen, either 1793, 1795 or 1796 according to which source you believe) who went to Amlwch as a young man to work in the copper mines?
   Regards, Gareth

Your man appears to be on the 1841/1851 census and in the names of miners section of this link.  The likely marriage to Mary Jones is also there on 10/10/1820

Thanks both - my fault for not making myself clearer - I'm fairly well up on him in Amlwch, it's his background in Corwen that I know nothing about.
    Cheers, Gareth
