wonder why its just EVAN..? any ideas anyone?

Hi,

It might be that the Parish register, if that is where they found the information, is difficult to read;  faded ink, bad handwriting, etc.

Having transcribed some registers I know what a problem they can be!

Ruhamah 50
Elizabeth 30
Thomas 27 labourer
William 14
Harriet 12
Josiah 8
all not born in county

1861 Steps, St Issells, Pembs RG9/4151 folio 91 pg 35
Josiah Evans head mar 85 gardener b. Carms, Llanboidy
Ruhamah wife 74 b. Carms, Llanwinio
Elizabeth grand dau 16 b. Pembs, St Issells

As the baptism is submitted and not extracted, you need to verify it from another source. You could get a copy of the parish entry from the record office in Carmarthen

Do you have Walter's marriage cert to confirm his father's name?

The final 's' comes & goes on many Welsh surnames at this time -you find Davies as David.
