I am trying to trace relatives of the dramatist Beriah Gwynfe Evans ( 1848-1927) born on 12 feb in Nant y Glo. He married Anne Thomas in 1871 and they had three children, one of which was Nellie Myfanwy; married to Timothy Lewis. Does anyone know who were his other children or who were Nellie Myfanwy's Children?

Thank you.

Hi

On the 1901 census RG13/5272/21/3 in Llanbeblig, Caernarfonshire they have~

Ann, 23 b. Llanfadog
Nellie Myfanwy, 15, b. Llanfadog
Ivan Myrion/Meirion, 11, b. Cardiff

Also with them is probably another daughter, Elizabeth Mary (Thomas) , 26, b. Llanfadog., married to a Henry Owen Thomas, 28, b. Caernarfon. Their daughter - H or K Olwen Thomas , 2 months, b. Llandudno

Thanks Gadget.

So Ann, Nellie, Ivan and Elisabeth would have been Beriah's children and H/K Olwen Thomas a Grandaughter?

I see that Nellie and Timothy Lewis married Caernarvon Sept q, 1911 vol 11b p 660.

If you go to Freebmd, you'll be able to search for possible children as Mother's maiden name was included from Sept 1911 - it might list a fair number but it does narrow things down:

Enter Lewis as surname and Evans as mother's name

(sorry but my connection is very slow and iffy here and I've got a 9 year old machine and it's driving me mad - on a wet holiday

Thank you, will do that today. I know that Nellie and Timothy had one son and one daughter so i'll try to discover their names.
