1861 Census Lookup Evans Newtown

[alisporter]

I am trying to locate details of Hugh Evans, born appr.1796 in Llandiloes. He was a flannel manufacturer employing about 60 people in Llanllwchiarn, Newtown. Upper Bridge Street location.

I am particularly interested in his sons, John and Thomas, aged about 37 in 1861.

Thank you

A possible for your Hugh - he is at least an employer- but there are loads of Johns and Thomas's- do you have any other info.

Hi

I have had a look in 1851 and here is Hugh with his family living in Llanwllchairan, Montgomeryshire:-

HO107/2497, folio 311, page 39

EVANS Hugh, h, m, 57, Fnl mfr  60 men  Upper Bridge Street,
EVANS Marg't, w, m, 60,, Upper Bridge Street,
EVANS John, s, u, 27, Independant minister, Upper Bridge Street,
EVANS Jane, d, u, 26, Upper Bridge Street,
EVANS Tho's, gs, u,  5, , Upper Bridge Street,

Hugh and Margaret were born in Llanidloes, John, Jane and grandson Thomas were all born in Newtown.

I can't find the sons Thomas and John in 1861 - as Peterej said, do you have any other information?

Thank you Jan, that is the Hugh Evans I am looking for. Can you see them on the 1861 census?

Thanks again

Peterej, thanks for looking. Is that address in Llanllwchaiarn? It seems a bit of a drop from 60 to 8 people?

Thanks again

Yes it is and I cannot see the other Hugh Evans in my census which is of concern.
Anyway it looks like Jan has provided you with the correct info
good hunting - sorry I do not have the 1871 as my relatives had moved

I've had a look at 1861 and the Hugh Evans that Peterej listed for you looks to be the correct one.  There are no other Hugh Evans that "fit".

Peterej - you did post the right one, the family I listed was from the 1851!!!!!!

I have had another look for the sons Thomas and John in 1861.  I cannot see any John Evans, approximately 37 years old and there are no Johns listed as Independent Minister.  Maybe he had moved away by 1861.

Do you have a year of birth/place of birth for Thomas?    There are a lot of Thomas Evans listed so need the extra info to narrow the search.

Thank you for all your help, that is the information I was looking for. I can trace them now to Glamorgan.

Thank you
