Someone mentioned that they couldn't find the name of "Evans" in the early registers. Did they look for these names: Ieuan, Ifan, Iwan, Jevan, Ievan - they are all Welsh names for Evans. I found Evans in the 1600's St. David's Diocese.

Annie I think you may have misunderstood my email. I was talking only about the records in Cardigan town, St Mary's Parish.
