Evans/Troakes family

[bevelini]

I am researching my family tree and my Great grandfather was Henry Evans (c1836) and he is listed on the 1901 census as a publican at the Morlais Castle Inn, 32 Pant rd.  The pub is no longer there but in the 1911 census he is listed as living with his son William at 22 Gwladys St.  William was married to Mary Ann Troakes and they had many children including Blodwen (c1889), Ivor (c1894), Harold (c1897), William (c1901), Oswald (c1903), Elsie Irene (1908) and Windsor (1910).  Mary Ann and Elsie were living in Birmingham before WW2 and Mary Ann died in 1941 back in Merthyr.  Any info would be gratefully received. Many thanks

There is still a pub called The Morlais in Pant. The Morlais Castle Inn in Pontmorlais is closed.

Hope this is helpful there are three marriages I found.(1) WILLIAM EVANS to MARY ANN TROAKES on 21st NOVEMBER 1886 at ADULLAM CHAPEL MERTHYR TYDFIL. (2) CATHERINE TROAKES to ALFRED HENRY BARBER on 20 AUGUST 1894 at MERTHYR TYDFIL REGISTORY OFFICE . (3) MARGARET TROAKES to WILLIAM JAMES EVANS on 4th FEBRUARY 1895 also at REG OFFICE. I could not see a death of MARY ANN EVANS in 1941 in MERTHYR TYDFIL.
