info on Owen Evans and Tyn Ddol in Festiniog
« on: Thursday 29 September 05 18:20 BST (UK) »
Hi, I was wondering if Dolgellau or anyone else could help me find some info on an Owen Evans born 1757 in Tyn Ddol, Festiniog, married Margaret Morgan born 1769. (Margaret is listed in Pedigree families of Caernarvon and Angelsey)
They had a son named Owen Evans in1810 also born in Tyn Ddol, Festiniog.
I cant find detais of Owen (senior) birth or the marriage of him and Margaret.
Any help on Owen Evans or Tyn Ddol, would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Laura

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I have all the details  of the Evans' back as far as 1851 on the census records but can't get any info on  Owen's father,also Owen Evans.
He was born in 1757. I have gone back with his wife but can't get anymore info on him.
Thanks again for your help.
