I am desperate to find outmore infomation on my grt grandmother Lily Evans, I know she lived in Bedwellty in Glamorgan in 1901 with her husband Roderick Jones and her childeren, when roderick died she remarried a William Jeffries and wa living in Weaste, Manchester in 1912 when my grandfather was born. Lily was from the shropshire area andwas born about 1876, any info will be great as i would love to be able to go further back in the history of the family.

Many thanks
