Find Ancestors

Ann and everyone,
I really appreciate the help you have been giving me.
I know it is a difficult name to research, but, I am told never give up. I have been trying for 7yrs on this one all ready.
mmmmm, maybe I need a visit to Wrexham???
Have been over to UK 2008 and 09 but was not able to make it to Wrexham..........next time.

I will see about trying to see what I can find on FMP even if I have to buy some credits to have a look.

Again,
Thanks to everyone who has helped .

Best wishes.

Barbara

hi

The Edward Dee found stayed in the area and married there so no good. Even if we find out the family to send for the birth certificate would not work as there are lots of Edward Evans in Wrexham about the right tine

hi Barbara

If you can find someone with access to find my past there are 3 Edward Evans in Wrexham and one in 1854 and one in 1853 which would be interesting to look at as different sites find different things on the census. These are on the 1861 census

If any of those have Thomas as the father we could look into this farther and see if we can solve your mystery

Ann

hi Barbara

have search the census and I dont think I will be able to find out anymore about Edward Evans either he is a mystery

have found some children for Walter Evans and Ellen Ankers who married 1916

Walter b4q 1916 w. Derby Lancs
George 3Q 1918 "
Dorothy 4Q 1919 "
David 1Q 1926 Liverpool
Kenneth 1928 Liverpool

last two are possibles but the surname Evans and maiden name of wife is still Ankers



Ann

Ann,
Appreciate the time you have put into looking up this evasive family of mine.
Agree that the first family is probably not them.
However, there are twins in the family and have continued down the line, my grandmother, till the present time with my two lots of cousins having twins.
Edward and Ellen also had twin girls Ellen and Sarah Esther but they died in 1901, within 3 days of each other. Have death certs for them.

I recall my mum telling me as a child that there were miners in the family. I did find on the Carpenter side of the family Miners from Wales, so maybe that was it.
Edward was a Slater/Labourer in the census.

Will look at the info you have provided and see what I think.

Many thanks to all who have been helping, it is very much appreciated.

Regards
Barbara

Thank you Dea, yes, I had that info on Helena. The Carpenter family were sooooo easy to locate and have managed to find many living relatives.

Thanks for the time you put into looking up this info.

Regards
Barbara

Jane

Edward JOINERS APPRENTICE

Eliza
NO ROBERT WITH HIM NOW BUT HE APPEARS WITH HIM AGAIN IN 1881

1881 Census
Thomas now a widow still a publican and farmer

Unfortunately the earliest I have any of the family is 1891,

Have not been able to find them in 1881 at all.
As Edward and Ellen's first child, was born in 1882 in Toxteth Park I take it they were in the Lancashire area.
Of course they could have been in Bristol, where Ellen was born.
I am still looking outside of the circle as much as I can trying to piece this together. Not an easy task with the name Evans.

Thanks.

Barbara

Victoria,

I do not know Thomas Evans Occupation.
All I know about him is that he is Edwards father.
Where he is from, when/where he was born I just do not know.
I realise it makes it difficult with the Evans name.
The only thing I do know is that Edward was a Carpenter, maybe Thomas was also??

Regards
Barbara

Barbara,

Have you found them in 1881?

Rose

Thomas Evans occupation?????

really would help to have this to find Edward in Wales

Minnie,

The marriage of Edward and Ellen was late for whatever reason, but it is definately my family members.
According to the 1911 Census Ellen had 17 children, 5 survived. All boys.
Geo Edward, Albert Martin (my grandfather) Edward, Walter and Thomas.

Hi Victoria,
Yes have the above info and I was the one that put the info on the Postem.
I cannot find anything on George Edward after the 1891 Census. Seems to have disappeared ((-:
Would very much like to find him.


Both parents on the marriage certificate are deceased.
George Carpenter was a Carpenter by trade.

Thanks.

Barbara

does the marriage certif of Edward and Ellen give the occupation of father Thomas Evans if so what is it?
