Mary Catherine Evans B:10/6/1876 D: Oct 1935 age 19yrs she married a
Edwin Jones B: 3/4/1891, D: 5/11/1949 living at 5 Braichgoil Terrace Corris: they had 5 children. I have doc for all 5 children

I have been told that Edwin  or Mary' are connected in some way to Ellis Humphrey Evans B: 1889.
Any help would be appreciated. all the best Bruce

I think you mean she was 59 when she died - not 19

Where did you get her full birthdate from?

If she was b 1876 - that makes her 15yrs older than Edwin who you say was b 1891 - is that correct?

You need to provide more info & tell us what research you have done yourself so we don’t duplicate

You haven’t given any details of her birthplace nor any details of when or where they married?  You say you “think” her father was Hugh - do you have a copy of her marriage cert confirming that?

No names or birthyears given for any of the 5 children you mention.

Have you checked for her birth reg on freebmd then looked on GRO online to get her mothers maiden name so you can find her parents marriage?  Freebmd birth 1876 - GRO shows mmn Jones.

With surnames like Evans & Jones you need to be careful

“I have been told that Edwin or Mary”.

No birthplace given for Edwin so what research have you done yourself to establish a connection to Ellis Humphrey Evans.  Given his surname - isn’t he more likely to be connected to Edwin - possibly a brother??

If Mary Catherine married age 19, that would have been 1895 when Edwin was 4. 

Possible marriage reg
Edwin Jones dec qtr 1912 Ffestiniog to Mary C Evans.

Yes I was just puzzling on the dates myself, if she married at 19 that would be 1895 and if her husband was only born 1891 that cannot be! 

[CaroleW]

Age 19 refers to her age at death in 1935 hence my comment it should be 59     no marriage year given

See my reply above

possible 1901 census for Edwin in Braichgoch Terrace

Ellis Humphrey Evans B: 1889.

There is someone of that name born 1887 Merionethshire son of Evan & Mary who died in WW1 - is this the man you are referring to?

[CaroleW]

Ellis Humphrey’s mmn was Morris

You need to look at these replies & clarify the info you have given.  We are looking at very common surnames & christian names here so you need to be sure of the info you are giving

[CaroleW]

There is a Dec qtr 1912 marriage in Festiniog which has Mary C Evans & Edwin Jones.

Did you get their respective birthdates from the 1921 census?  What birthplace is given for each of them?

Did you check the 1881 census for Mary Catherine Evans?  If so - you would know there is no entry with a father Hugh but there is one with a father David.  You need the 1912 marriage cert to clarify
