Hello Deb
Sorry about the wait but just been busy. At last over the week end I managed to dig out the photo of Thomas Argo, I just hope I manage to attach it OK. We have always thought that Argos name is something to do with a ship as his brother Thomas's house was called Argo House and have now found out it was a ship that was owned by their father John James D.O.B 1808.
Happy hunting for any other info

Well done, you've got further than me!! 
You are obviously more practiced at this research, I only started a few weeks ago and am finding it a bit mind blowing how to get hold of the info.
The one that died at sea at 15 was John Evan Lisbon, he fell down the cargo opening on deck (not sure what it's proper name is).
Won't forget about photos.

Hello Deb
First I appologise as after posting my reply I realised I hadn't signed off properly!
I haven't got any further back than John and Ann yet but hope to in time. Most of my information has come from my great Aunts, Hydwen & Vio, it is of these siblings I know the most about as they would regularly tell stories of the family whenever we visited. My grandfather David Ewart (in typical welsh fashion is known as Ewart) was the only on to have children. Lizzie Eleanora (known as Nora) trainned as a teacher then married a headteacher (David Evan Davies), John Evan Lisbon (known as Lisbon) died at the age of 15 in Saigon in 1910(he was on his first trip as a ships apprentice), Thomas Arthur (known as Tom) died at 20 in 1917 in the first world war in France, my grandfather married Beatrice Davies and they had 2 daughters (my mother Ann Arabella, called Bella and her sister Mary Honoria Eileen, called Eileen). Hydwen and Vio never married and lived together in Lewis Terrace in New Quay (all have now died).
For some reason Mum mainly remembers Argo of John's family (I do have some picturs of Argo and I think his sons somewhere). As she remembers bits she does tell me but my stepfather is very ill so I don't like to push to hard at the moment as she has alot the contend with.
When I get some time I will look out the photos and scan them to attach to another message.
If you haven't found it yet ,look on the 1861 and 1871 census you will find Esther living with her grandmother Esther Davies who is 80 and 91 years old and a beer seller/inn keeper. After this it is Thomas's family I have followed.
Hoping you have managed to follow this as I have tried to condense it as much as possible and that some of it is of interest.

Hello
I have fairly recently started looking at our family history. Whilst doing so I came across your message and chats about Evan G. Although I already knew most I did learn a bit more.
In a distant way, I think it does meant we're related and hope you can follow this. Evan G's father was John James - one of John's brothers was Thomas. Thomas married an Elizabeth Evans and had 3 children, 2 girls and a son David. David had 6 children - Lizzle Eleanora, John Evan Lisbon, Thomas Arthur, David Ewart, Hydwen & Violette. David Ewart is my Grandfather making Thomas my Great, Great Grandfather.
My mother can remember Argo (one of Evan's brother) and lives very close to New Quay.
If you managed to follow that, I hope it is of some interest to you !!!!!
