I am responding to this part of your text:
Firstly there is JAMES EVANS b.1863,Pencarreg,Carms.
In 1901 he is listed as a Master Draper and Shopkeeper of 144,Commercial Road,NEWPORT.
Wife-ELIZA J.UNKNOWN b.1868,Egloskerry,Cornwall.
Children-ELSIE M. EVANS b.1894,Newport
BLANCHE S. EVANS b.1896,Newport
OLIVE G. EVANS b.1899,Newport
I would like to know if anybody recognizes the family,or the business,or has any other info. regarding these.
According to the Online Parish Clerk database, no woman from Egloskerry was born in 1868 with the name ELIZA J. (with unknown surname) However, there are two possible women that may be your Eliza J. from the vicinity at that time. They are:
1. Elizabeth Symons (daughter of James and Elizabeth Symons), who was christened on July 7, 1867 in Egloskerry and whose family resided at Skinnish in the parish.
2. Elizabeth Jenkins Wadge (daughter of Richard and Mary Wadge), who was christened on September 23, 1866 in St. Thomas by Launceston (the parish next to Egloskerry). The family resided at Tregadillet in St. Thomas. Richard's occupation was a labourer.
My money is on Elizabeth Jenkins Wadge as your ELIZA J.
I enjoy researching any families from Egloskerry because my own ancestors are from that charming parish. Let me know if you need more information about either of these ladies.
