Glamorganshire / Re: Mary Morgan [marriage]
« on: Monday 25 December 06 05:45 GMT (UK)  »
Hello Eirwen.

Don't want to send you on a wild goose chase but my great-g/father Bryan Evans married a Mary Morgan (I thought born 1869) on 16 September 1896 (don't know where).

They had 4 children - Ivor, b 1897; Gladys, b 1899 or 1900; Clifford and Mervyn.

Ivor was my g/father.

I believe Mary died 1942 in Swansea (bombing raid?)
Bryan died 1955.

This may be right off course but on the other hand may help.

Regards

Shropshire Lookup Requests / Re: George Evans, b 1791
« on: Friday 01 December 06 07:18 GMT (UK)  »
Graham, could be him, particularly as two of his sons were called Moses and Aaron (biblical names).

But I have George born 1791 which makes 4 years til his christening.
I suppose they didn't always do it straight away.

Thanks for your help, though.  You've put me onto FamilySearch with plenty of options

Hello EBN.

My recent contact "mrsd" above tells me that she has a copy of Moses' birth certificate, stating his mother's maiden name as (Ann) Holland.

Ann was born in 1813 at Brampton Bryn (? spelling), Herefordshire

Moses, born to her in 1847, married a Mary Ann Jones in 1869 or thereabouts.

Radnorshire Lookup Requests / George Evans, b 1791
« on: Wednesday 29 November 06 10:08 GMT (UK)  »
Hello all,

Thanks to those who have assisted me so far.

George Evans, b 1791 at Clun, Shropshire (according to 1841 census record).  Can anyone advise how I can obtain birth details and then info on his parents?

I'm in Australia, so just can't pop over.  Maybe next year.

Dear EBN

Thank you for that information.  I'll follow that up.

As you can see above, I've had an exciting contact with an unknown relative with common ancestor.

Do you have any advice on how I can trace marriage details for Moses'father George and mother Ann.  They were living in Stapleton fro, I would think about 1830 to 1850-60, I judge.

Thanks again

Antipodes.

Hello mrsd.

I went all goosey when I read your post yesterday!

My name is Bryan Evans.  I live in Brisbane Australia.

Moses Evans was also my great-great-grandfather!!

His oldest son Bryan was my great-grandfather, born about 1869-70

His son, my grandfather was called Ivor (b 1897) obviously after Bryan's brother.  Bryan and wife Mary had three other children - Gladys, Mervyn and Clifford ("Cliff")

Ivor and wife Hilda had one child - Charles Graham, my father (b.1921)

Graham and his wife Ella had one child, me. (b. 1947)

I am married to Yvonne, have four kids - two boys, two girls all married now - and have two grandchildren.

I am so excited to have your contact.  I, too have only got so far back to George, b. 1791.  I think his wife may have meen Ann, b.1813, therefore considerably younger - I will try to confirm that.

For the moment, I'll try to get Moses' birth certificate.  I've viewed the register listing on line, but not the actual entry.

Two much loved possessions of mine are photos of me, my father, grandfather and great-grandfather sitting together - in one, Im 9mths old and the other age 8.

My email address is:
bryvon20@bigpond.net.au

Love to hear more from you,

Regards
