Whilst searching on the web for my ancestry, I came across your query about the Walters family from Tylorstown. My Grandfather was Charles Walters, son of Elizabeth Walters, and brother to Willie Walters(who by the way was quite a famous comedian in his time I understand) .There where two other brothers that had businesses in Tylorstown one was a baker the other a butcher. Charles, who you probably know was a coal miner at the age of 14, but went on to serve in the army during the first World War, as a Bombardier in the Royal Field Artillery. In a story told to me by my grandmother, apparently a German shell exploded with a direct hit on the field gun and horses, killing all the gun crew and all the horses, with the exception of Charles who was badly injured. After his recovery he re-joined the front line, only to be then gassed, but went on to the age of 67 when he past over. By the way Elizabeth Walters apparently went on to marry again after the death of John Evans, and ended up as a Mrs.Sweet.
Trusting this cleared up a few anomalies,

Hi Bentlybob
Thank you for your contact. I was aware that Elizabeth Walters remarried after John (my great, great grandfather) died. As you probably know, John's marriage to Elizabeth was his second marriage. John's first wife, Rhoda, died in 1886 in Bristol, at the age of 28. The story passed down through the family is that Rhoda died after giving birth.
Again, I was aware that one of Elizabeth's sons served in World War One. Lily's husband's brother also had brothers who served in WW1. They were Jesse Andrews and Thomas Edward Andrews. Jesse was in the army, and Thomas E. Was in the Marines, and like one of your ancestors, a shell hit a bunker that Thoms was in, and all 8 men were killed. Tom's body (as far as we know). Jesse survived the war.
My late aunt (Lily's granddaughter) told me many years ago that one of Elizabeth's sons was a butcher in the Rhondda, but that's all I know.
If there's anything you would like to know, and if I can answer, just ask, and I'll do my best
