Hi Jan

According to NorthWales BMD Evan & Lucinda were married at Bangor Cathedral Church.  If you write to the Caernarfon Record Office with the date of the marriage you should be able to obtain a copy of the actual entry in the church register with original signatures etc.  This would at least eliminate any possibility of mistranscription.

Hi Heather, I have got a copy of the actual marriage cert, it's Lucinda Roberts. I have now paid for a search to be done at Carnarvon record office, for the births of the other children to see if their mother was a Lucinda Roberts or Lucy Neal.

If you have obtained the marriage certificate from the GRO it is the copy of a transcription sent from the local registry office for indexing, in which case it might be in error.  Even the local registrar's copy may be in error.  Only by obtaining a scan of the actual parish register can you be completely sure that the names are correct!!
