Hi Amondg, John Evans is probably Jane's father and Evan Evans is probably her husband's uncle.

Merionethshire / Evans family of Cwm yr afon, Llanbedr
« on: Tuesday 01 July 25 18:06 BST (UK) »
My GGGG Grandmother Jane Evans (1754 - 1831) is mentioned in the will of her uncle Griffith Evans. He was high sheriff of Merioneth in 1788 and died in 1790, buried in Llanbedr on 6th April and Cwm Yr Afon farmhouse has a write up on the British Listed Buildings site, but other than that and the other details in the will I can't find out anything else about Griffith and his brothers Richard and John (d.1802). I've checked the Llanbedr records and can't see anything obvious, but given his status in the area I'm surprised I've not found anything. Any suggestions welcome?

Lincolnshire / Heckington photo mystery
« on: Thursday 27 March 25 10:21 GMT (UK) »
Hello, I have a photo featuring my grandmother (Alice Maud Porter) with 5 other ladies, all seated and holding babies. They are all formally dressed, with impressive hats and their clothes look Edwardian, meaning my grandmother is holding either my uncle Lionel (b.1902) or my aunt Iris (b.1906). However the strange part is there is a man in the centre holding a doll and he is 'blacked up', as Morris Dancers sometimes are and holding a black baby doll, so any idea what was going on?

Hi AngelFish, Thanks, but I'm not on Facebook, so can't add the photo. I'll see if I can find a friend who can help.

Lincolnshire / Heckington Church Choir 1912
« on: Monday 11 November 24 11:42 GMT (UK) »
Hello, I have a photo of the Heckington Church Choir dated August 1912 and although it probably contains someone from my family, I can't identify anyone 100%, so if you have any interest in it please let me know, as I'm happy to find it a good home or I can send a copy via email.

Thanks to you all for your help and I thought I'd tried various combinations of the children, with birth dates, surname variations etc, so not sure why I missed it.

Thanks for the prompt reply and looks the most likely explanation
