• Notes

  In the 1901 census, after Evan Thomas's mother Gwenllian died, his sister Mary and her husband Evan Williams moved in and in 1901 Evan Williams was the head of the household. He was a collier and Evan Thomas still farmed the land. Evan Williams spoke both Welsh and English, but Evan Thomas spoke only Welsh, so this might account for the former dealing with official forms like notification of death and census.
