Here they are on the 1901 living at William Street

Thomas Evans age 47
Charlotte age 47 (she is dead by 1911)

Any help is much appreciated.

Charlotte still alive - here with family including Mildred. Why do you say Charlotte has died by 1911

1911 Census For England & Wales
50 Lewis Street Newport Mon, Newport, Monmouthshire, Wales

First name(s) Last name Relationship to head Marital status Sex Age Birth year Occupation Birth place
Thomas Harris Evans Head Married Male 56 1855 Night watchman Appledor Devon
Charlotte Evans Wife Married Female 56 1855 - Filton Somerset

William Henry Jones Lodger Widower Male 67 1844 Night watchman Bridgemond Somerset

Married 36 years. 8 children born, 5 still living 3 have died - perhaps explains the lack of children showing on census between their marriage and the 1901 census

I would think it's certain that Lizzie is MARIA Elizabeth - shown as Mariah E on 1891 census

If this is the parents marriage, there's a long gap between that and the first living child to show in 1889. Only 3 others born who don't show on census but are said to have died

I found Thomas and Charlotte on the 1881 with no children which I thought was a bit odd. I think you are right about Maria/Lizzie. The story was that Mildred Evans married William Hayward but she died young. William apparently went on to marry her sister years later, possibly in Birmingham.

Thank you for your help

Unlikely to be 2 Mildred S A Evans so, "the story" about her marriage looks to be true, although she would only have been 16

????
is this result a red herring as Mildred b 1920 (but Glams not Mons) which may indicate your Mildred, and I see her nowhere else. However, Henry and Myfanwy have a Mildred 1910 who I can also not find

1921 census search result -
First name(s) Last name Birth year Birth place Parish Registration district County
Mildred Hayward 1920 Hirwaun, Glamorganshire, Wales Aberdare Merthyr Tydfil Glamorganshire

Mildred, Myfanwy, William Martin and 1 other are on this record

Myfanwy is surname Hayward born 1885 in Hirwaun
William Martin Hayward born 1908 Hirwaun

the 1 other is Marfydd Hayward b 1913 Hirwaun, as per search result -
Hayward Morfydd Davies Merthyr T. 11a 1822

Thanks Grey ghost. I think that was a red herring for Mildred Myfanwy. However spot on for Mary and William marriage. Thanks for your help
