Sally - the "Manchester or Wales" bit came from me (you will have seen my name mentioned in John's earlier post). I tried to respond to John via the list but for some reason my message didn't make it so I re-sent it direct. There is a copy below: (start quote) -------- As you would expect there are lots of people called Henry Evans... but the only one I could find with the right occupation was this one in the 1851 census, living at 45 Chapman Street, Manchester: EVANS, Henry Lodger Unmarried M 18 1833 Smiths Striker Flintshire Wales (The head of the household was an Edwin Jones, also from Flintshire, who was a blacksmith) Angelika (end quote) ------ sally roberts wrote: > Hi John, > > Can you give me Henry Evans jr's marriage details?
