It would be nice to find Edward Evans grave in 1849 and also his marriage but looks to be before 1837 records

Thank you , I will look into these . Where is Park bach or Park ? I see in 1841 Edward is a farmer at Llanwyddn , did he move up the ladder from a " park keeper " ?

Park bach here

He may have been a farmer of just a few acres and just about getting by. His widow is noted as pauper on the 1851 census.

Thanks , I didn't think that word looked like " pauper " .I am wondering if Edward's grave was one of those exhumed before flooding ?

I think you'd need to ask the church about that. I doubt there would have been a gravestone.
The word does appear to have 2 ps but think it's meant to be pauper, the elderly widow next door has same word.

I did look on " Findagrave " for a stone for Edward  and also Ellis Evans died aged 14 { Ann's brother } who died in 1853 but no joy , perhaps the cost was against it .
