looking for Owen Evans born around 1930, from Swansea. Had sister (by adoption) Gladys Evelyn Wilkins 1934. I have Gladys' birth cert but nothing for Owen. I need to find this link as it was Owens parents that adopted Gladys and mother Evans was an aunt to Gladys as well as adopted mother.

Piecing all the information together from your other thread on Shaw. It would seem that Owen would have the Mother's maiden name of Wilkins as his mother would be sister to Thomas David who married Annie Shaw. You should have posted this on the same thread by the way then it would have avoided this confusion as the two families are linked. So the pm I sent earlier with the birth of Owen Evans is not correct.

Here is the 1911 Census again as posted on your other thread.
