It's a bit like finding a needle in a haystack trying to find and Alfred Evans in Wales!!! All i know is that Alfred Evans my great grandfather was born in 1889 in Cardiff and as far as i can tell from the marriage certificates i have etc his father was william and was born Glamorgan 1834. Other than that i have no info. I have a wife who is possibly Mary Potter but i can't confirm this yet. I have the following children for them but again not confirmed:Children ELIZABETH EVANS 1868- WILLIAM HENRY EVANS 1869- ALFRED JOHN EVANS 1889- My great grandfather was raised in Wales but moved to Warwickshire where my grandma, father and myself were all born so i'm afraid the Welsh connection ends there and i'm not too sure about teh geography of Wales. The only thing i am sure of is that none of my relatives down my direct lines ever moved abroad as we have all stayed pretty much in the same areas where the families were from generations back. I think there are some gaps in the records ancestry carry as i ahve ahd the problem of entire families disappearing between census' even thoguh i nkow they never died and ancestry told me that htye diodn't have absolutelt everything on there yet. My email is [email protected] is you email me i'll keep your address on file and contact you with anything else. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
