Message Board Post:
Hi, I believe I may have a connection. My G.G.Grandfather was Evan Daniel Evans Baptist
Minister of Mold who was also a rogue who was deported by Mold Crown Court as a convict to
Australia! He married Elizabeth Edwards who was born in Holywell and they had several
sons, Thomas being my G.Grandfather. I believe Elizabeth's father was a slater and
consequently moved about, according to where the work was I think. After her husband's
conviction she lived and died in Liverpool with her children.
Evan seems to have been born near Newtown Montgomery but also seems to have links with
Dolgellau where I believe he may have been baptised. There are indications that family
connections with Salem existed which is why I have researched William Evans (with his son
Evan).
I have had to discover all this for myself as great secrecy surrounded Evan and his
antics. I was only ever told that I had an ancestor (or possibly two) who was a Baptist
Minister.
