New Lister -
Please can I ask for help with my brickwall:
(It ended up in Machynlleth but started in Cardiganshire):
From 1881 Census:
Pendre Garth L(ower), Machynlleth:
EVANS, John 1846/7 Llangranog CGN Bookbinder/Printer
on the 1881 Census living with his wife, nee
LEWIS, Catherine (20/3/1844) Machynlleth
Their 3 first children
David John Evans (1870),
Esther (1871) and
Elizabeth (1873)
were all born in Llandyssul CGN
before the family moved back to Machynlleth MNT.
I have searched for the Evans/Lewis marriage without success.
I sent for a certificate once and realised it could not be our couple
because that John Evans used 'his mark' -
and a bookbinder/printer ought not to be illiterate!
Any suggestions - where do I go from here, please.
