Christening dates for children of Richard and Catharine Evans in
Montgomeryshire appear on the LDS website at
http://www.familysearch.org Despite a confusion of dates and
places, these parish record dates correspond roughly with the
sequence of children of Richard V and Catherine Evans, who migrated
in the 1840s to Ohio with children Richard O, Mary Elizabeth,
Athelston O, Rowland, Daniel O and Mary.
I set out below the parish data from the LDS site, with dates from
other sources in brackets (WFT indicates a World Family Tree record
put together by a descendant of Richard O). A descendant of Rowland
claims that he and his siblings were born at Gelldywyll,
Llanbrynmair. Catherine (Owen?) Evans's tombstone gives a DOB of 30
Apr 1789.
I'd be grateful for advice on whether it's possible to reconcile
these dates and places. It's conceivable, of course, that the
children of more than one couple are involved in the parish records.
