Hi to all on the Anglesey site, I hope someone will be able to throw some light on the street name of my Evans family as shown on the 1851 census for the village of Gaerwen in the parish of Llanfinhengal Escfiog.
The address was 1 Bogal Street, the house next door was Bogel and next to that is a place named Ty Capel. I recently went to Gaerwen and could not find any one to help place the area and the closest I have come up with personally is the garden centre after The Holland Arms which has Ty Capel in the address. Could this be the place? the area could be right as there was a colliery at Pente Brwe, and in the census details my Gt GT Grandfather and two of his sons show as colliers.
I have tried the Archive office at Llangefni for any info but to date have heard nothing from them, and with out old maps I cant get further.
In the 1851 census my Gt Gt Grandfather William Evans states he was a collier who was born in Llanddanial and his wife Eleanor states she is from Newborough but I dont have her maiden name. This is as much info I have on them as in later census they are not shown, so I am presuming they had passed away as during the 10 year period to the the next census my Gt Grandmother Catherine Evans their youngest child had come to Liverpool to be with her older brother Richard.
Any help anyone can give on the area or the family would be really appreciated Regards Liverbird
