I appear to have lost a branch of my family. I have them on the 1841 Wales census, details as follows.

Evan Evans (Head) b1802
Mary (Wife) b1806
Elizabeth (Dtr) b1835
William (Son) b1832
Mary (Dtr) b1834
Sarah (Dtr) b1840

At the time of the census they were living at Dolley Green, Presteigne, Radnorshire (Wales) Have searched all census since(England and Wales) but no trace of any of them. Hope somebody can help.

Researching:
Evans, Radnorshire, Herefordshire,Cheshire. Jones, Breconshire. Lewis, Herefordshire.

You need to bear in mind Evan may have died and Mary remarried and so they appear under a different name. And by 1851 some of the kids could be married or working away.

Thanks Claire, that is a possibility as Thomas and Emma could have been born since 1841 census and Evan could have died after Thomas's birth, but cannot find a death entry for him.
