Dear Ozi, I think this must be what patchem means, perhaps Evan was John's brother i must search further. Margaret

Do you mean Hilda and Florrie are daughters of a separate family, parents Evan and Lily (another Lily)?

Have you looked in free bmd for a birth for Lily?
Have you found John in preceding censuses?
Thanks

Please can someone do a lookup for me the 1911 census. I am trying to find a John Owens living in Tredegar.
I know little about him except he had a daughter Lily born 1901. John himself I believe was born in 1858.
I am afraid I know no more than this, but would appreciate some help if possible. regards Margaret
