Good Evening,
I know I'll have to get certs to prove this but I wondered if a few collective minds may help me a little more.
My gggrandfather was Richard (Maurice) EVANS. He was born around 1865 in Festiniog, Merionethshire.
He married Rebecca JONES around 1888 (still haven't discovered where yet!)
Here he is on the 1891/1901 and 1911 census.
Now, like I said I'm pretty certain the only way to continue this back is to obtain certs, but I've traced the wrong family so far.
I have established that Evan and Grace are NOT Richard's parents.
I'm not sure what to do next.
