Well I find the dates interesting. William Evans was born in 1822 I believe and moved to the Pandy in 1860 with wife Martha Jones and daughter Eleanor aged 6 weeks. They were married in the Zion Chapel in Newtown in 1856 and I believe he lived in Greenfield, Newtown where there was a fulling mill. Martha’s father was Moses Jones, weaver so he could be related to the other Jones. I’ll research further. I would say that the family was very religious and I would be a bit surprised  at your suggestion, but all things are possible....

Hi, would love to hear more about the period from 1860-1933. I understood that William Evans (and son William Moses Evans) possibly owned the mill but certainly worked there and built up a reputation for fine tweeds, woollens etc. My grandfather was named William Evans ( surname..)after them and worked at the Paper mill. Please be in touch if you see this. ( Also jill Wicks)
