Thank you for looking on the 1939 register, Llynboy. It's good that some of the children have been located. I guess there is a chance that Ann and William Jones may have gone overseas with one of their other children... I will keep on searching.

If anyone else has any ideas, please let me know! 

Ann(e) Owen(s) was born in Llaniestyn on 3rd May 1865, the daughter of Sydney Owen of Penygongl, Llaniestyn.

Ann worked as a domestic servant at Castellmarch near Abersoch and then at Egryn, Llanaber.

Ann married William Jones in 1894 (in Dolgelly) and they later had several children; Mary, Laura Annie, Willie, John Owen, Jane Ellen and Sydney whilst living in Dyffryn Ardudwy, Merionethshire.

In 1911 they are living in Llanenddwyn, Merionethshire. I can’t locate any death/burial records for either Ann or William in the Merionethshire area, can anyone please help?

Hi

Do you still have a copy of the book by Ceiri Griffith?  Do you know if it's still on sale?

I am researching an Evans family in Llanengan at 2 particular addresses - Ysgubor Wen and Ceiriad Mawr.

It sounds like this book could possibly be of interest in relation to what I'm researching

Hi Keith - we are in Liverpool so don't have easy access to Caernarfon record office without arranging a trip to visit.  I think I need to do just that!!


Hi Jimbach - Wow, what are the chances of anyone replying who knew of Thomas Evans? I'm amazed!  Do you know anything else at all about where Thomas Evans and his sister came from before they lived there.....or anything at all about them.  Are you still in the area? 

I wonder if there will be any writing on the grave stone where they are buried. Do you happen to know?  If I can trace the Evans line it will lead me to the father of William Owen Evans (my great grandfather).

Thanks so much for your information so far!!

Hello

Is anybody familiar with a cottage called in Abersoch called Y-sgubor-wen?  It was the birth place of Bishop John Owen in 1854.

I am trying to trace the family of William Owen Evans and need to find out who was living in the above named cottage in the 1930's-1940's....because whoever lived there was the cousin of my ancestor.  (Obviously I can't do this through census information as it is too recent).  I believe that my ancestors cousin was called Thomas Evans.

Any information on the cottage or who has lived there over the past 100 years or so could prove very useful to my research.  Similarly, if anyone knew of a Thomas Evans from that area and period of time (long shot!!) then any leads will be useful to me.

Many thanks
