2 England and Wales Marriage Registration Index, 1837-2005, Pwllheli district, 4th Quarter, vol. 27, p. 617. Daughter Margaret Elizabeth was born about January 1851 according to the 1851 UK Census (aged 2 months at the end of March). In the GRO Marriage Index, John Evans married either Margaret Williams or Margaret Thomas between October and December 1850. Margaret died aged 79 years and was born therefore in 1812/3, in Llanllyfni, according to the Census entries. The only entry in the Llanllyfni Parish Register that corresponds to this year is for Margaret daughter of Richard Williams of Talmigredd Isa, farmer, and Elizabeth his wife. Nonetheless, Margaret's maiden surname needs to be verified.
