Hello Moni I'm intrigued! I have a Lewis Evans married to Jane Butler in 1852 in PEM although I seem to remember it was October not November. I need to look up my old files as I haven't been looking at that family for some time. Would you be prepared to send me a scan of your cert offlist and I can then compare with mine when I find it. I can send you a copy of mine too.
