Bill, good luck with your Evans research as well. Appears Edward and Thomas are quite common names for that time. Like you I too would love to find out more about Thomas Evans from "Wales", maybe Denbigshire and Edward Evans his son, born Wrexham abt 1855-1860. I am sure the information i out there, just a matter of tapping into the correct family. Barbara --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
