William Evans Mariner Pembroke Wales, daughter Rhoda Evans b.1818 Haverfordwest Pembroke Wales. Rhoda's son William David Charles b.1849 married Sarah Thomas 1868 Clifton Bristol.. On the 1891 census Sarah is at home with children, Robert 16, Frank 11 Thomas 5 and Elizabeth DUNN 18 Niece (Dressmaker). William David Charles Sarah's husband is a Merchant Seaman so I would think he is away at sea. Is this all a coincidence or are the families linked in some way.
