Dear Mary
Many thanks yet again for your efforts to find Evan Owen(s). You ask a very
good question about the credentials of the "right" Evan. I would not be able
to tell from the 51 census alone whether E was the one I'm after, but if I
could trace him back to 41 and find him with his son John & wife Sarah, I
would be well on the way to believing I'd got him. I suspect, however, that
Sarah may have died & John moved away from father, so I know I have a long
slog ahead of me. Oh for an unusual name - - some people must have it so
easy!!
The Evan you found me might be right. I have decided I shall have to go off
to the FRC today & make great efforts to find John & Evan in 41. (At the FRC
I'm also going to meet up with a school friend of mine whom I haven't seen
for 35 years). Now I have the 41 census index I feel I should manage to
crack this problem. Will let you know how I progress.
Many thanks for your interest & help.
Best regards, Ruth
