Joseph EVANS

  General Notes:

gravestone at St Brannocks Church, Braunton, Devon
Benjamin Evans
died Aug 10 1848 aged 22
also
Edmund Evans
father of the above
who died January 16th 1864
aged 73 years
-
The adjacent gravestone is of
Joseph (d Jan 25th 1836 aged 63)
wife Jane (d Dec 21 1805 aged 29)
daughter Jane (d June 6 1825 aged 17)
grand daughter Jane Evans Richards (d Jun 5th 1824 aged 2)
daughter Susanna Widlake (d March 9 1870)
-
a few graves away
Joshua Evans died Jan 30th 1878 aged 64
wife Elizabeth died May 7th 1875 aged 57

This suggests, but unproven that Edmund's parents were Joseph (born cir 1773) and Jane (born cir 1776)

Another gravestone suggests another son of Joseph/Jane
Robert Evans
died April 8th 1868 aged 72
wife Elizabeth died Dec 26 1887 aged 83
also grandson John died Jan 22 1878 aged 15 (son of Robert Penelope Evans)
- I presume there should be an "and" between Robert and Penelope
- BUT there is a baptism in 1798 of Robert, son of John & Elizabeth

Vaguely possible marriage
