Hi Polly, Yes.....I know I have my work cut out. My Evans's were all Ag Labs so a will is out of the question. It was only when I looked at the parish register a second time I noticed the ref. to All Saint's (it was barely visible) When I get back to Hereford RO I'll check the church survey for 1828 again for ALL Evans's. I think I'm going to be left with an open mind and that's it I'm afraid......I'm glad they aren't in my tree with a question mark over them now. Thanks for the reply. Best regards, Kevin , Co Cork.
