Hi again Yvonne! Following my ascertaining that there are no ordination papers in the NLW for Daniel Evans, I'm copying this to the list in case anyone else can help. I have checked Alumni Oxoniensis and found the following entry: Daniel Griffith EVANS 5th son of Daniel of Blaenavon, Carmarthenshire. Jesus College. Matriculated 17 June 1859 Age 20 BA 1862 MA 1865 Now, since he was the 5th son of Daniel Evans and, as none of the ecclesiastical records show the second forename, Griffith, I wonder whether it's possible that you have confused father and son. Assuming Daniel Griffith was born in or about 1839 and, as he was the 5th son, it seems highly probable that it is his father whom we have researched up until now. In other words, you would be able to obtain the birth certificate for Daniel Griffith EVANS since this is likely to be just after the introduction of registration. Since the registration district for Blaenavon was Abergavenny, my guess is that the entry you want for Daniel is Abergavenny 26/20 though the index does not give his second forename, Griffith but then neither do any of the other entries for Daniel EVANS.
