Trying to find more information about James Evans born Horndon on the Hill, Essex in 1851. Think married to Ellen Button. Trying to find his parents.

Hi PollyPoppet

Thanks very much for all your info. sorry I haven't replied before but have been away and also thought I had found someone who shared the same Evans family as me. Unfortunately this is turning out to be a bit more complicated than first thought.

Not sure if there are 2 families around the same time with same names.

Thanks again

Celia
