Hello all.

I am seeking birth information on George Evans, born at Clun, Shropshire in 1791.  Any takers?

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

Regards

Hi again

The biblical names is the connection I think.  Also,  sometimes more than 2 children were christened at the same time and it wasn't unusual for older children to be christened with new born children too.
