John Evans of Conwil Elfed 1852
« on: Wednesday 09 July 08 11:30 BST (UK) »
I'm trying to trace the parents of John Evans b.1852 in Conwil Elfed. He married a Mary who died in 1890 when they lived in Llanelly, I would like to know Mary's surname and any information on her parents if possible.

Hi

The 1861 has 3 John Evans all b 1851 Conwil - none b 1852/53 in that location

Because the surname is a prevalent one in Wales, you really need to look for one of their children's births and get a copy of the birth cert to find Mary's maiden name - hopefully they gave at least one child a less common christian name which may help find the birth

Once her maiden name is known you can look for their marriage and get a copy of the marriage cert which will give their respective fathers names and occupations
