Evan Jones - 1841 Lookup
« on: Saturday 31 May 08 11:18 BST (UK) »
Hi,

Could someone look up Evan Jones in 1841 for me please?

Info i have about him comes from his marriage cert 29/3/1851

29 years old (so born abt 1822)
Widower
Quarryman
Living at Ty yn Capel Aberllyfeni Talyllyn before marriage
Father's name Evan Jones occ Labourer

I know the 1841 doesn't give relationship to head but i'm hoping that if Evan Jnr is living at home then he might be findable.

Thanks,
Clair.

Hello Clair

On the 1841 census I can find only 1 Evan Jones coming from Talyllyn
He is 20 years of age,
Looks as though he is living at homw ith his mother and siblings
And is a agricultral labourer.
Anne 40
Richard 15
Anne 8 could be 5 though
Cathrina 10
Mary 6
possible they could be living with another 2 Jones
Anne 25
John 20 who is a curate
These two are living in a home named the cottage
But the way the cesus is laid out
It is difficult to see if Evan Jones is at the same address.
Also there could be a 5 year old child named Lydia Davis living with them
There are a great many Evan Jones as you can imagine around this area
Around the same age as yours
But only the one I have here is listed as living at the place you named
Hope this helps

Eric

Hi Eric,

Do you know, I think that is a strong contender!
On Evan's marriage certificate one of the witnesses is Richard Jones and I see from that census record that this Evan had a brother called Richard!

Thank you very much for looking for me.

Clair,
