Hello Claire & Listers, I have Evans's of Llangurig in my tree, but my information is a bit sketchy! I have a James Evans (b 1806, Beguildy, Radnorshire) who married Mary Savage (b 1809, Llanidloes,Montgomeryshire) on 12 October 1835 in Llangurig. They went on to have four children that I have identified:- Mary Evans b 1838 Llangurig d unknown John Evans b 1840, Cwm Belan, Llangurig, d 05 Feb 1912 Blaenavon , Mon James Savage Evans b 18 May 1844, Dowlais, Merthyr Tydfil, d 28 Aug 1908 Whiting, Indiana, USA Edward S Evans, b 1849, Dowlais, Merthyr Tydfil d 1922 Chicago, Illinois, USA Could this be the same branch of the Evans family that you are researching? Perhaps James Evans and your Mary Evans could be siblings? Sorry I have no further information about James Evans' origins - perhaps other listers may be able to assist.
