I have them on all censuses from 1871 onwards, by which time they had moved to the parish of Llanwonno in Glamorgan. They had their five children, inclusind mu GGG-grandmother, Eleanor (born 1865, Dihewyd) living woth them, in addition to Evan's son (I think) from a previous relationship, and Sarah's mother, Margaret Williams.

What is Evan Juniors occupation on census and marriage.

I am not seeing him and Sarah on 1881 ,can you give it or another?

Benjamin

Benjamin Report 18 Jul 2010 13:12

The address given for both bride and groom is 'Maesgwyn'. The witnesses were Evan Harries (preasumably the groom's father) and David Davies.

I haven't actually got the certificate - the info was e-mailed to ey by the Cardiganshire Archives, and the bride and groom's ages were not included in the e-mail. However, going from the census, both evan and his bride, Sarah Williams, were around 30 on the wedding day.

What was Evan's age when he married and his wife's name?

Hi folks.

I'm trying to trace the ancesors of my GGGG-grandfather, Evan Harris/Harries (his surname is Harries on his wedding certificate, but Harris on all subsequent census records). The marriage certificate, dated 1864, states that his father was Evan Harries, a relieving officer. The marriage took plce at Dihewyd, a small parish in Cardiganshire, West Wales, where bride and groom were both resident.

There appear to be no census records of him proir to his marriage, nor can I find a baptism on the IGI or on FreeREG.org.uk

Can anyone help me? It would be much appreciated.
