Sorry, I am having a little trouble figuring out where I am supposed to write my reply. Anyway, thank you Patricia for the information. Apparently there was another christening in the same village of a James Evans on 31 May 1778 to a Robert and Mary Evans so need to find out which one or if either of these is correct.
