I may be related to the Evans family of Gogoyan, Llanddewi Brefi. I think my 2x grt grandfather Jenkin Rees b Llangybi (c1814-c1882) married a Mary Evans in 1848 at Llanddewi Brefi. I believe this could have been Mary Evans (1828-1895), whose father was John Evans, (1791-1857) who was born and died at Gogoyan. Mary's sister, Diana, had a son called Jonathan Ceredig Davies, author, traveller and expert on Welsh folklore.
However, I am not 100% sure. I live a long way from Wales and can only rely on online records. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Caulfeild
I wonder if Caulfield did get the marriage cert? It would have confirmed his "hunch". It's now viewable on line -
