Trying to find Evans

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Tracy Report 14 Aug 2006 12:24

I'm looking to find any ancestor information about my Great-Great Gran, Susannah Evans. I have records of her marrying my G-G Grandad John Thisby in Oct/Nov/Dec 1889. I have records of 5 children born between 1890 and 1899. According to census info I've collected she was born in APPLEDORE North Devon approx 1870/71, but I cannot find any records of a Susannah Evans being born in this area. According to the 1891 census, her brother Frederick Evans was living with her (aged 9). I did find a record of a Frederick Evans being born 1882 in BIDEFORD, North Devon, which would tally with the census info. Could the 'place of birth' on the census be filled in incorrectly? Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks. Tracy Evans (Nee Johnson)
