David Evans 1854-1916 death.

this John Evans is a pilot and living at Seaside, although David shows as collier. Perhaps he went to sea later?

So, in 1841 we have John Evans a Pilot, 1796, Margaret his wife, 1796, son David, 1828, Coalmimer, dau Margaret 1833 and son Jno (John) 1835, at Seaside, Llanelly. I can’t find the Mariner’s certificate for David but, as suggested, it seems likely that he followed his father into the maritime profession and eventually became a Master Mariner.

In Ancestry non-conformist records I have found likely baptism/birth entries of the children. Interestingly for the first 2 baptisms there seem to be 2 entries, one in tabular form and one as a written entry

David born 13 Feb 1828, baptised 17 Apr 1828 to John and Margaret Evans of Llanelly.
Margaret born 10 Apr 1831, baptised 28 Jun 1831 to John Evans a Pilot and Margaret Evans.
John Evans baptised 27 Apr 1834 to John Evans and Margaret his wife/Thomas. Address Seaside, John’s profession was a Pilot.

Why there is a 2 year age gap for Margaret and 1 year gap for John between these records and the census records is unclear. It could be both died young and the next Dau and Son were named after them.

I can’t obviously find them in 1851 or later.

The likely marriage is John Evans to Margaret Thomas on 8 Dec 1826, Llanelly

Although I can’t find a marriage (perhaps others can?) I think Margaret (the mother) married again to a John Charles.

In 1851 at Nr. Cambrian Place, St Paul’s, Llanelly are:

John Charles age 50, Pembrey, Coal Trimmer
Margaret Charles, Wife, 53, Llandefeilog
Margaret Evans, Step Daughter, 20, Llanelly

And in 1871 at 1 Shambrook Bank (next door to 28 Railway Terrace), Llanelly is:
Margaret Charles, Head, Widow, 77, Llanelly
John Evans, son, 38, Llanelly, Mariner Merchant Service

The ages of children Margaret and John in these census records agree well with the birth/baptism entries
