I am new to this List but wonder if anyone could help with the following.
I am researching the Chester family of Massey (one of millions I know) and one Maria
Massey (born Chester in 1813) who married Joseph Evans of Flintshire.
I would have lost them then if it hadn't been for a general search on the 1871 with
Ancestry.com and discovered a son Faithful Thomas V Evans, born in Flint in 1854. The
name Faithful Thomas runs in the family so I am 99.9% certain that he is family.
I have never been able to find the family prior to this so was really quite excited.
This morning I discovered what may be two other children, Joseph Wood M Evans (b 1846) and
Annie M Evans (b 1844), again both born Flint.
I have no dates of death for either Joseph or Maria but I vaguely seem to remember reading
that Joseph was a baker so something similar.
Does anyone on the list have access to a surname index for the 1851 (if there is such a
thing for Flint) and if so, would you be so kind to have a quick glance and see if my
wandering Evans are there?
Any help at all would be extremely gratefully received.
MTIA and with fingers crossed
