Joshua EVANS

  General Notes:

Not yet officially connected - but possibly their first son. There were just 26 people called Evans in Braunton. The older daughter, Elizabeth, on the 1851 census was possibly with Edmund and Mary in 1841 - presumably as Ann was a new born baby. However, there was also a 3yr old Elizabeth with Thomas & ? Dunn (related to Joshua's wife?)
