The issue is Aran Evans. Both he and his father Daniel married into my family. Most of my family moved in and out of Laugharne, Carmarthenshire. They were chapel-goers and I know those records were lost about 20 years ago.
Apologies. The response I noted, but with Perrin Lee it did not register, all I saw was his name. But the parents and occupation fit, so does the date. There were two traveller couples living in the same places, with the names Daniel and Catherine. I am still looking at it and thinking why? Though Perrin and Lee should only be this family. I found nothing on the GRO for Perrin Lee/Evans. There has been so much offered, of which I am very grateful, as it has opened up whole new areas. but with the different families, I am only now starting to make sense of the dynamics.
I have Aran’s marriage and death certificates and it is spelt that way. I searched on Family Search and the GRO for all with Aaron, Aron and Aran as a first and secondary name. Then I cross-checked them against census records and none fitted. I find it strange, but not surprising, that Matilda has a birth record and baptism, but the mmn is BASS for Boswell. I cannot find a birth registration for Daniel though he was baptised aged 4.
Possible Baptism: John Evans . 13 Apr 1898 . Aberavon, Glamorganshire
(Ref: Digital Folder Number: 004378201) Using Family Search, I cannot see the image for his parents, but Aberavon is a place they regularly gathered; they are there on the 1901 Census.
Birth: Matilda Evans . 1893 . mmn: Bass
(Reference: Oct-Dec 1893 . Swansea . Volume 11a . Page 841)
Baptism: Matilda Evans . 1893 . Lliw Common . Llandilo T’Bont, Glamorgan . Father's Name: Daniel . Tinman . Mother's Name: Catherine

I accept in both census records there are only 3 children when the 1911 said they had 4 children and all were still living. The date and location fit for Evan to be Aran. As they used traveller names, or English, Evan seems strange in being Welsh. Looking through the older census records, I can nor see why they used Aran/Aaron.
