William Evans / Mary Skyrme
« on: Sunday 08 March 20 12:32 GMT (UK) »
Hello everyone, I'm trying to track down the right parents of William Evans b 1819 knockin, Shropshire.

DNA hints are suggesting his parents as a John Evans and a Mary Skyrme of Pembroke... Mary is born 1791. However, I haven't been able to track down a birth for him to confirm the skyrme name, another few trees are suggesting the mother as a Mary Jones.
I can't trace a wedding for him either but censuses have his wife as 'Elizabeth' I'm related via his daughter, Selina Evans.

I wasn't sure where to post this as it covers two areas, so I thought this the best place on here to post it...

Hope someone can help....

So we can work backwards where and when was Selina born and where do you have the family on census

I think Selena's mothers mmn was Jones (birth Jun.1857 Wolverhampton).

Ive just opened My tree.. ok, for Annettes post as to Selinas mom... no Im not sure who she is, surname wise.. just that she is "Elizabeth"...

Williams birth, seems to vary a bit as to date and place...

1851 shows him as born 1816 in Oswestry, wife "Elizh"  (Elizabeth showing as born in Ellesmere)
1861 shows him born 1828 Salatune Shropshire ... selina first shows up here... Elizabeth is now showing as born Bikford / Beckford, shropshire
1871 has william now born Ellesmere, 1814  likewise, Elizabeth born Ellesmere...

Grrr I cant see now where I had him born 1919 in Knockin lol

I also dont know his death year
