just putting this one in - I realise it's not here, but I reckon it's a misspelling of Brynberion and might be a connection

Lol!

I'm just searching the marriages on here, as I know she married Thomas Emrys Lloyd in Cardigan in 1931 - thanks for that hint MarieCeleste!

Thank you very much Ann, that very well may be her. Unfortunately, I dont know exactly where she was born or where precisely they lived, other than that they had ties to a small village in Pembrokeshire called Brynberian. There was also family living around the Crymych area.
I've discovered there's a member on here who has a Margaret Evans as having been born in Cwrt Farm, which rings a bell, so I'm just waiting for a reply from her (hoping she still frequents the website!)
thank you again for replying!

Hello Bethan, I'd guess the starting point would be to get her marriage certificate which would hopefully give her father's occupation (other than just "deceased"). The witnesses could also possibly give some clues.

welcome to the boards Bethan :-)

any idea where she was born - as you are probably aware Evans is very common in Wales and I imagine there are literally hundreds of Margaret Evans'

Hello everyone; I'm new here and trying to broaden my family tree research.

So far, I've done pretty well on most sides of my family, but I've hit a brick wall with the one relative I wanted to find the most out about!

Her name was Margaret Lloyd (nee Evans); she was my paternal great-grandmother.

She was born in 1904, and died in Pencader in 1949 (on my grandfather's 18th birthday). She is buried in Brynberian chapel. I've really struggled to find her on the censuses on ancestry.com; as far as I can make out from family members (there are very few from that line) there are many half siblings/adopted siblings and it's very confusing. From what I could gather from my grandfather, her father's name was Daniel Evans and is buried near her. There is a Daniel Evans buried two spots over from her, and accordingly he lived 1873-1905. If this was indeed her father, then he passed away the year after she was born, which may be why I haven't been able to find her on the censuses.

My grandfather, who lived in Canada, was in the process of writing out for me any aunts and uncles he could remember from his mother's side when he passed away. I'm currently waiting for my step-cousin to send me the letter he was writing, but communication from her is quite thin on the ground. From photographs I know she had a brother David, and a sister Mat? and possibly a sister Sarah.

Any help or advice would be very VERY gratefully received!

Thanks in advance

Bethan
