Edward Evans Llanarmon Yn Ial/Eryrys 1852-1927

[MadMazzy]

I am so stuck.  Half of the Eryrys Census for 1861 is missing, and it would be the half I probably need to see.  Can anyone help please?  This Edward Evans was born circa 1852/1853 - I don't think 1854 but possible.  Have his marriage record to Mary Anne Hughes in 1876 but his dad was listed as Robert Jones, his residence Blaen Y Nant.  The witnesses were John Jones and Hannah Evans.  I saw a marriage record in 1878 for a John Jones who also lived at Blaen Y Nant and his dad was listed as Robert Jones too, so was thinking they may have been half brothers, about 3-5 years between them.  I have no idea of the name of Edward's mother.  I've seen another thread where they were asking about an Edward Evans born in 1796, well my particular Edward's wife was his granddaughter, her mum being Hannah Evans, born approx 1833 who married Edward Hughes.  Any help would be much appreciated.

Welcome to rootschat

Where do you have Edward in 1871 and 1881, please give details

[MadMazzy]

1871 is a blank.  1881 he was married and lived in Gors, Llanarmon yn Ial.  His birth place was given as Eryrys.  He later kept the Sun Inn in Eryrys.

There is a marriage Llanarmon-Yn-Ial on 18 Dec 1857 between a Robert Jones (age 27)  father John Jones  and Eina Evans (age 21) father John Evans.  Have you discounted that one

ADDED That would make his mother very young when she had Edward 

[MadMazzy]

I did discount that one as they went to live in Mold and Edward Evans was never on the Census with them.

There's some newspaper items from 1881 about Edward Evans being in court for not paying towards his mother's support. Sadly she isn;t named

Thank you for that information Mabel, do you know where I can see those reports?

[Mabel Bagshawe]

Two reports of the same case:
