Bodlondeb, Trefriw

[FlowerBD20]

Hi again, Mary Evans was buried 31 Aug 1842 age 36 (registered Llanrwst district vol 27 p97) and John Evans 23 Feb 1865 age 57(Llanrwst 11b/335). Both are in the register for St Mary's and their address is given as Bodlondeb Trefriw but neither is in the Memorial inscriptions published by Gwynedd FHS. Strange. It's what made me think they must be poor.

Haydn,

Just to satisfy my curiosity, is the property near the churchyard?

Tecwyn.

Hi Tecwyn

Well not really. I guess it would be 100 - 200 meters away from the Church yard as the crow fly's. You have Bodaelog flats next door to the place, then Maes Bodaelog estate, then Victoria terrace.

Below Victoria terrace is the Church yard. But saying that I guess when Bodlondeb was built all that was in between them was a field.

Hope this helps

Hi Tecwyn and Haydn, You don't happen to know where Shilling Place used to be in Llanrwst do you? John Evans lived there before he moved to Trefriw.

I am afraid I can not help you on that one. Sorry

Hi Flower

I think that John Evans is my 3x great grandfather too.  Are you able to confirm that his daughter Mary married John Williams?

Re: Shilling Place.

I'm afraid I can't help either.

Hi reddkite! Yes Mary married John Williams in 1860. They had to my knowledge 3 children, John 1859, Mary 1860 and Richard 1865. Mary the younger married Richard Evans and they had Mary Ellen 1887, John Richard 1890 and Albert Pritchard 1895. Richard the joiner (1865) married Elizabeth G. (Roberts??) and they had Frederick (I think Grenville?) in 1891. How do you come into the picture? I am descended from Catherine Evans (1829), the eldest daughter of John and my 2x great grandmother.

Hi Flower

Great!    My grandfather was Albert Pritchard.    I'll try to reply further this evening when  I have more time and more facts to hand.
