I believe that Charles was my great great uncle but do not know anything more about him except for a picture I have of him. I think he had at least one brother, John, a tailor who was my great grandfather and I think there were others siblings in the family and all lived in the Lampeter area.
Anyone who knows of any Evans' in the Lampeter area might link into other info I have.
Thanks.

There is a Charles Evans living in Lampeter in 1911 census:-

Could this be him?

If you could give a bit more detail about John Evan then we may be able to find a link between them.

Could this be your John Evans ?

If so then the Charles in 1911 could not be his brother.
We really do need a bit more info to go on, Please!

This could be a good link for me as somewhere else I have an idea he might have been a grocer. A Charles Evans was also a magistrate in Lampeter and it mentioned that he was a grocer. Could be the correct address as well as I have a census for the Evans family linked to Bridge st in Lampeter.
John married Rachel Davies and worked as a tailor in Lampeter. Think he was born in Aberayron, Cardigan. He was born about 1856. He only had one child as far as I know, my grandfather Evan James Evans. There are other siblings, Ellen and David Evans who lived into the 1920s but I have so idea if they married and had issue. Also there was a Jane Evans but don't know more about her. There were others who died in childhood.

This looks to be your John:-

found some Evans' who were Mayors of Cardigan but no Evans who was Mayor of Lampeter - would Lampeter be large enough for a Mayor? I don't think so

This could very well be John and Rachel before the married, working at the same farm:-

1871
Name: John Evans
Age: 14
Estimated birth year: abt 1857
Relation: Servant
Gender: Male
Where born: Llanwnen, Cardiganshire, Wales
Civil parish: Llanwenog

Evan Jones 19 - Servant born: Llanwenog
John Evans 14
Margaret Davies 22 born: Silian, Cardiganshire
Rachel Davies 15 born: Silian, Cardiganshire (Maid Servant)

NO, this one looks more likely:-

1871
Name: John Evans
Age: 14
Estimated birth year: abt 1857
Relation: Apprentice
Gender: Male

David Jones 6
Walter Jones 5
Thomas Jones 2

If this is his marriage:-

Marriages Mar 1880 (>99%)
Davies Rachel Lampeter 11b 34
Davies Rees Lampeter 11b 34
Evans John Lampeter 11b 34

then you would need to buy the cert. if you want to go any further back as there are too many possibilities for John Evans in other census records.

A lot of this info confirms what I already have which is great. Now I need to see if they had children and if so married. Would love to find someone still connected with the family still alive!
Thanks to everyone
