Hi, Pete and Glenburn,
With apologies for shoving my oar in, the only William Evanses in the LPS list at the time you mention are
(i) Born1833 Licensed 1859 Retired 1898
(ii) Born1842 Licensed 1866 Retired 1873
(iii) Born 1843 Licensed 1866 Retired 1903 Died 1906.
- But no William Evans born 1841.
Putting all of that together with the relevant family records, there is clearly scope for error somewhere, not least in the LPS list. Any correction/clarification would be most welcome.
No doubt nicknames came into it, too. (Must have done, to distinguish one from another in everyday chatter!)
Very best,
BY
