Hi Eli G

Can't help with your Kyffin mysteries but Northwales BMD has this 1846 marriage:

Llanbedr y Cennin, St Peter
Evan JONES and Catherine EVANS
registers at Conwy County Borough (Llandudno) ref C12/1/14
the GRO reference is Festiniog June Q vol 27 page 279

The 1851 census lists Catherine`s birthplace as Caerhun.

Many thaks for this, at least with the surname, I can look further.  Clearly she wasn't  Kyffin before she married so presumably the link must be on Evans's side. Thanks again.

In my family tree when a daughter married a man with a common name like Jones or Roberts, the mother's maiden surname was often given as a middle name to the sons from the marriage in order to carry forward her family name.  You may find that Evan Jones mother was a Kyffin.

Given Catherine's stated  age of 30 in 1851 and assuming the Llanbedr marriage is the correct one, there is a possibility that she was a widow, as 25 was relatively late for a first marriage.   Obtaining the marriage certificate would help you by identifying Evan's father as well as ensuring you are tracing the correct Catherine......

I think this is the way forward as I will be able to get Evan's mother's (maiden) name from the marriage certificate. Thanks for looking.

Unfortunately marriage certificates in England & Wales only provide the father's name and occupation   Many pre1837 parish registers do not provide the mother's maiden name either

I have the facility to order a death certificate but can't see how I go about ordering a marriage cert?
