Evan Samuel Owens Bangor
« on: Saturday 09 October 10 17:23 BST (UK) »
Hi I wonder if anyone can help me. I am researching an Owens (Owen) family
from Bangor. What info I have is-
 Evan Samuel Owens married a Lucinda Roberts in the Cathedral church Bangor in 1839 I have cert.
1841 and 1851 census they lived in Kyffin Square Bangor.
My gggrandad Elias was born 22 October 1851 in Kyffin Square. but his birth cert names his mother as Lucy Neal.
I can't find a death for Lucinda (did find a Lucinda Owens death but she was a child). nor can I find another marriage for Evan, the family then moved to warwickshire then Buckinghamshire where they settled this is now where most of us decendents live. but 1861 census forwards till death cert says Lucy. We had always assumed Lucy was short for Lucinda but Elias birth cert has made us wonder.  He was not the first child,would order more birth certs but with Owens it is not easy to get right. any help would be most appreciated.  jan

Hello janaridge

What were Lucinda and Evan's fathers names on the marriage certificate?  I see that Lucinda was born in Ireland.  If Evan changed his name patronymically at marriage perhaps Lucinda did the same - ie. her father was Robert Neal?

Her death cert GRO no 3B/18  potterspury district gives her AGE as 56 years.
Evan and Lucinda had 5 children on the 1851 census first born was on 1841 census.This is what made me question if Lucy and Lucinda were the same person.found a Lucinda Owens death in Phwelli but she was a child.

on another note we are planning to come to look at the parish records in a few weeks. have seen your posting regarding opening hours. great,
this may seem a silly question but will the records be in Welsh or English

thank you Jan
