Hi Listers I am trying to track down an Ellen or Elin EVANS who was born around 1839/40 in Llanstadwell or Neyland. I haven't yet been able to find her in 1861 on my census CD but information given to me by Pat Powell (thanks again for that Pat) show her with her family in Llanstadwell in 1841 as follows: Llanstadwell parish Roose dist enum dist 2 Folio 19 page 4 Neyland. Henry Evans 43 Shipwright Mary Evans 40 Maria Evans 21 Eliza Evans 20 Jonathan Evans 16 Charlotte Evans 14 Mary Anne Evans 7 Jane Evans 5 Elin Evans 1 All shown as born in county. Gerry found the family in 1851 for me (Thanks again Gerry): There was an 11 year old Elin Evans, born Llanstadwell, living in Llanstadwell with Henry (63), Jane (14), Mark Jonathan (8), Mary (50), Mary Ann (16) I would be most grateful for any sightings of Ellen aged around 31 in 1871. Best wishes Carol in Berkshire, UK

Dear Carol, You and I have travelled a few research roads together, so wondering where you were heading with Ellen Evans, I looked up Henry and Mary's marriage. I found Henry Evans married Mary Child at Llanstadwell on 16/10/1819. If Mary gave her correct age in the 1841 (when ages were rounded) she'd be born around 1801 and may be a child of Charles Child who married Anne Thorn in 1795 or Lewis Child who married Jane Rhode in 1798..at Llanstadwell. There are a long list of Evans males who married at Llanstadwell from 1803 down to Henry in 1819...and intriguingly David Evans in 1804 married Martha Child and James Evans in 1805 married Jane Child. I know the Evans of Llanstadwell and the Child girls may be unrelated to each other, however it is not uncommon for two family groups to link up in marriage twice....but possibly three? Makes for one big happy family! I also noticed that a John Evans in 1805 married Elizabeth Scurlock...so, knowing of your Scurlock searches, I guess this is your connection. Do tell....off line, if necessary!
