A woman I know little about! Mary Williams
This is where common Welsh names and a reluctance to spend money on certs that I can't be sure are the right ones leaves gaps in my knowledge!
Anyway Mary Williams was born in Taibach, Glamorgan, Wales abt 1841. 1841 - not found 1851 - not found 1861 Margam, Glamorgan Thomas Williams Taibach head Mary Williams 20 daur Mary Evans b 1861 Taibach granddaughter [I think this is my Mary with her illegitimate first daughter] Marriage 27 Oct 1862, Llangynwyd, Glamorgan, to John Evans. 1871 10 Llwydarth Row, Llangynwyd, Glamorgan John Evans 31 b. Monknash Mary Evans 30 b. Taibach Mary Evans daur 10 b. Taibach Jenkin L. Evans son 9 b. Taibach Thomas Evans son 5 b. Maesteg John Evans son 4 b. Maesteg Edward Evans son 1 b. Maesteg Thomas Williams b Taibach 58 boarder [I think this is Mary's father] Lewis Williams b Taibach 25 boarder [probably Mary's brother] 1881 96 Garth Road, Cwmdu, Maesteg, Glamorgan John Evans 42 coal miner Mary Evans 42 wife Mary daur 20 dressmaker Thomas son 16 miner William 12, Edward 11, David 7, John 5, Lewis 3 all at school, Rees 1 Link to gt grandfather: http://www.genealogistsforum.co.uk/f...t=Jenkin+Evans

So does this mean you don't have the John Evans / Mary Williams marriage certificate just to double-check that her father was Thomas?

The likely marriage ref is Oct-Dec 1862 Neath vol 11a p 664.
1851 census: Taibach B Cotton Row Thomas Williams Head Mar 37 Collier Margam Glamorgan Thomas Williams Son U 13 Coppermill Man Do Do Mary Williams Daur U 10 Scholar Do Do Margaret Williams Daur U 7 Do Do Do Lewis Williams Son U 5 do Do Do Ann Williams Daur U 3 Infant Do Do Mary Williams Wife Mar 34 Collier's Wife Do Do There is a line drawn to link Thomas and Mary senior saying "husband & wife". HO107/2462 Folio 55 Page 37 |

And 1841:
Constant, Hamlet of Havod, Margam Thomas William 25 Miner Y Mary Do 20 Y Thomas Do 3 Y Mary Do 1 mth Y Mary David 10 Y HO107/1422 Book 19 Enumeration District 8 Folio 23 Page 12 |

Given that she is 1 month old on the 1841 census, this is her likely birth registration:
Apr-Jun 1841 Williams, Mary Neath XXVI 483. But there are three possibles in the Jul-Sep quarter, two with surname William and one Williams. So yes, it could get expensive trying to get certificates for this family! And then just to be confusing, FamilySearch Record Search has the baptism of a Mary Williams at Margam, parents Thomas and Mary, but the date is given as 30 Nov 1840. There are likely baptisms on there for Thomas jr and Margaret (also a Henry in 1834) so I wonder if the year is wrong for Mary's? |

Have you found the Evans family in 1891, 1901 and 1911, Nell?

Hi KiteRunner
You've been busy! I'm afraid I lost interest in this family as they are so difficult and have been absorbed in new leads in my Norfolk side, but thanks for your efforts. I'll look through what you've found and digest it! I don't have the Evans' later on, though I do have their son Jenkin Evans. I think I must have decided John & Mary had died and couldn't face working out which were their deaths in the indexes!!!!
