Subject: Evans/Nantmel Family Information
My daughter googled in Evans/ Nantmel and obtained print outs from people
writing in to your site.
My husband Michael David Thompson Evans [dob deleted] is descended from
this extensive family and we have quite a lot of information derived from a
legacy to his father in the 1930s and a visit we made to Nantmel church
(1973 approx) the last year
before the parish records were moved we believe to Cardiff for safe keeping.
The last person in the chain, Ducie Hood, was descended from my husbands
great grandfather her gt.gt grandfather; see

I have sent an email with details to dhood44(a)bigpond.net.au but so far no
reply. We are quite willing to pass all the details of the forbears back to
Joseph Evans b.1730 d 25.6.1808 and his son John b 1776 d 12.3.1842. m.in
1803 Elizabeth Thompson b 1779 d.25.5.64 (hence the double barrelled
name).There are masses of descendants too many to list here.
If this information is any use to anyone trying to sort out the Evans of
that period how do we get in touch with them or do you keep a general
register?
What we would really like to find out is did Elizabeth Thompson 's father
William Thompson b?1733 d.17.5.1810 of Upper Dolau
come as a drover from Scotland as my husband's father Thomas Henry Thompson
Evans thought?
Many thanks if you could put us on the right path to help disseminate the
information we have and possibly gain some more.
Anne Evans
