Hi, I am trying to research the family of Rhoda Evans b.1818 Haverfordwest. Pembrokeshire Wales. When she married a Charles Charles of Bristol 1844, an Elizabeth Mayo was a witness on her marriage certificate also a Hannah Evans. Rhoda Evans father William Evans (Mariner) as documented on marriage certificate.. I cannot find any details of a baptism for Rhoda any ware. Could there be a link here via Mayo. Also are there any Rhoda's in your family tree's !! We believe that Charles and Evans families from Pembrokeshire were early settlers in the USA Regards Lynne charles UK> Date: Mon, 1 Sep 2008 20:34:25 -0700> From: [email protected]> To: [email protected]> Subject: Re: [EVANS] Mary Ann Evans/William Wear May> > Marlene,> > My search for a connection for the parents of Thomas J.
