Maureen,
It's almost impossible to provide "information on Elizabeth's family in
Wales" when you don't know in which parish she was born. I just looked at
the LDS IGI online at
www.familysearch.com and see there are no fewer than
18 Elizabeth EVANS' listed in the IGI as born in Montgomeryshire in the year
1818. This does not allow for error (i.e., born prior to or after 1818) or
for christenings not entered in the IGI. You said you "think her parents
names were James and Elizabeth Ann Evans" but you didn't mention the source
for that information (i.e., marriage certificate, family bible, other). If
you know they were married in Liverpool, have you obtained their marriage
certificate? (This will provide you with her father's name and occupation).
The IGI has this entry that might be a possibility, in the parish of
Llanidloes, Montgomeryshire. You might want to order the LDS microfilm
shown in the source information (#0104587) which are the Bishop's
Transcripts for the parish church of Llanidloes -- if this is "your"
Elizabeth, there might be more baptisms of siblings, possibly her parents'
marriage earlier and their burials later. The entry below is the only one
in the IGI for 1818 with the father's name James EVANS -- Hannah is often a
nickname for Ann, I believe.

Can anyone give me any information on Elizabeth Evans b. 1818 in
Montgomeryshire Wales, she died in 1893 Kingower, Vict.Australia.
She married Edward Owen b.1825 Conwy,Wales, in 1849 in Liverpool
England.
They came to Australia in 1849 on the "Wanata", and settled in Victoria,
they had 4 children born in Victoria Aust as follows; Edward James b 1853;
Elizabeth Ann b.1855;John Richard b.1858; William b. 1860.
I would like some information on Elizabeth's family in Wales, I think her
parents names were James and Elizabeth Ann Evans.
