Surnames: Evans Davies Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.evans/1470.2970/mb.ashx Message Board Post: My grandfather was an Edward Evans who married Elizabeth Rowland Davies (registered in 1902 at Dolgelly). At the time of their marrige however, both were resident in London; Edward was a Customs & Excise Officer, and Elizabeth was in the royal household of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra. Whilst it is clear that Elizabeth was latterly in London, returning to be married in Wales, I have no such information for Edward Evans. It seems much more likely that he was 'London Welsh', and in that case, we may have interests in common. Can you shed any light on your Edward's descendants? In the meantime, I will try find out more about my grandfather - no easy task with the surname 'Evans'! What I do know is that my father, Rowland Ellis Evans was born in Hendon, Middlesex, not that far from St Lukes. Rgds Karen
