I have searched and searched for the following family without success. My last trace of them was in 1851, living Mansell Lacey Herefordshire. I have found nothing on any of them since, not even a death. There is a story in our family that somebody emigrated to Canada. Would appreciate if somebody could do an emigration search.

Thomas Evans b1824 Huntington, Herefordshire
Ann Evans (nee Hammond) b1826 Lingen, Herefordshire
Children;
Mary Jane Evans b1850 Abergavenny, Monmouthshire
Thomas Evans b1851 Mansell Lacy, Herefordshire.

Thanks

The problem with Evans and Herefordshire is that it turns up so many !
I will follow up that Mary Evins though, looks a possible.

Thanks Prickly
I had spotted that one but cannot find the "neice" connection. It could be another of those "Aunty & Uncle" situations that many of us had, who were not actually related.
