William George Evans

[geegeevans]

Hello, I am trying to find information on my Great grand father's parents. He was born William George Evans in 1884 at 26 Mary Street Merthyl Tydfil. His Father was William and his mother was Margaret Jenkins. I believe William was born in 1855 but I don't know where or who his parents were. Margaret's parents were Jane and David Jenkins and were grocers. William's siblings were...Jane Elizabeth (Williams) b. 1877, David b. 1880, and Issac Rosser b. 1882.
 William George immigrated to Canada with his wife Mary McAuliffe and his children , my grandfather being one of them in 1917ish. I would so love it if anyone can help me with my search of my Evans roots. 


Thanks so much.

There are few children registered here as William George Evans...... only 1 in 1850s / 1860s
William George born 1855.
His mother's main name was Bellamy ( an unusual name here ) and Lydia Bellamy married a William Evans in
the Parish Church of St Tydfil 1st March 1852 ..... Therefore she was an Anglican ( only around 7% of
the population here in the 1850s went to the Parish Church ..... most non-conformists )
I found the family on the 1861 census living very near the St Tydfil Church .... Pedwranfach.
William is 26 years old and a blacksmith, Lydia 22 years and their children are Edwin 9 years and William 6years
( not George on the census but identified through unusual name for mother and rt. place / father etc )

I think these are your family what do you think?
