Evan Evans, Myddfai

[Summer29]

Good Afternoon
I would appreciate some assistance please,  if possible.  For years, I have been searching for a member of the Evans family living in Myddfai. It is a complicated branch of my tree and I have found evidence to support most of the family apart from one - Evan Evans, ( b. 1867- 1870, in Myddfai) allegedly born to Morgan Evans  and his wife Mary Hughes (m. 1868).  Morgan, born illegitimately and no clear connection with the surname Evans, had a short life (1838 -1872).  Between him and Mary they had three children
Gwen,1868, in Myddfai
Rachel, 1871, in Myddfai. My direct line.
Evan ? He appears in the 1871 Census, aged one and noted as a son of the couple.
In the 1881 Census, he is living in Myddfai with his paternal grandmother, Gwen Harries ( nee Morgan).  I cannot find him on any other Census and the GRO does not have a birth associated with the maternal surname Hughes in Llandovery.  Mary Hughes registered all the births of her children and if Evan is her child, why is he not treated the same?

Some extra detail
Prior to the marriage, Mary had a daughter, Margaret Hughes in 1863, father is a George Greening.
After Morgans death, Mary goes on to have two more illegitimate children:
Mary Hughes, born in Myddfai in 1874
David Evans,  born in Myddfai in 1877
Mary then gets married to a William Williams in 1884 and has two more daughters
Elizabeth born in 1884
Anne born in 1885.

Would anyone be able to enlightenment as to why I cannot find Evan please?
Thank you.

the only births registered at Llandovery around that period with surname Evans & mmn Hughes are:

Gwen dec qtr 1868
Thomas march qtr 1870
Rachel march qtr 1871
David jun qtr 1872
David dec qtr 1877

Could it be that Evan was registered as Thomas?

I don't know. I have Thomas's on my tree but not on that side of the family. Thank you.

sorry I wasn't clear, Thomas is the first name, surname Evans, mother's maiden name Hughes.

I had the same thought and bought the birth certificate. The mother wasn't Mary Evans.

Hughes!
