Any one researching EVANS, EDWARDS from the TANAT Valley area???
Joan E,
Toronto, Canada
Hi Joan,
My gr grandfather was William W. EVANS, b. 29 April 1824. His wife was
Anne FRANCES, b. 17 Sept. 1832. They were both born in Wales. They
left Liverpool England, on the 'Euroclydon' in May 1864 bound for
Halifax, N.S. From there they seem to have gone directly to Gallia
County Ohio U.S.A. & then to Pomeroy, Meigs County, Ohio where they lived
& died.
They brought with them their 2 children, William Evans & Ann Evans. (
Also with them were Thomas & James Evans who must also have been
relatives. ) I do not know where in Wales they were born.
I have a certified copy of an entry of Marriage from the District of
Swansea. The names are correct but the ages are not.
Does any of this match with your records? Please advise & thanks in
advance for your reply.
Sincerely,
Emily Young
