Llaethdy Pontyberem/Mary Ann Evans

[roycymru]

On reviewing Jane is probably Janet, so not them

Hi Hywel

Do you have the details from the marriage of Mary Ann Evans to Gwilym John Evans in 1907. I would be interesting to know what her address at marriage is and whether any details are entered for her father.

Regards

Roy

Her address on Wedding Certificate in 1907 is Llaethdy, Pontyberem.  Where the father name is its just got a line through it.

Her Birth Certificate shows Mary Ann, Mother Jane Evans, Gwendraeth Row, Llannon.  Again ther is just a line in the father

This newspaper article looks interesting as a possible father to Mary Ann Evans.  It was in Herald of Wales, Swansea Newspaper on 16 June & 20 June 1888

Although in Llanarthney rather than Llanddarog this is the best match I can find for Jane Evans and Brother Thomas in 1841. They are of around the right age and where people were in 1841 was not always an indication of where they were born

Thanks Hywel, that’s very interesting. I does seem to confirm that she was adopted by the Rees family, who 1901 (at Llaethdy) renamed her to Mary Evans Rees but when she married used her born and 1901 name of Mary Ann Rees.

That’s a great find, he does seem to be a very good contender for the Father

Although reported in the Herald of Wales Swansea, was it under Swansea news or Carmarthen/Llanelly news? If Swansea it would suggest James may have been from the Swansea area and/or Jane was living in the Swansea are at the time Mary Ann was conceived

Just spotted an indirect connection in 1851. Mary Evans (with proposed/probable first husband George Evans) is on page 1 of Llanddarog district 1d register at address Abernant, while her probable brother and sister Jane and Thomas are on page 2 at address Ysanteg.

It's rather odd handwriting, so I think Jane and Thomas' address is Panteg

They're just down the road on the census from  Llwynteg - as is Panteg on this map

Just a little further up the road is Mount Pleasant home of George Evans when he married Mary

And a little further away is a record of a place called Llwyn y Piad, which might be her address on the marriage
