Margaret (parents Richard and Hannah York), married a George Evans in 1842, St Briavels, but I have not been able to find them afterwards. I know a few of my Tippins emigrated, but can't see anything in Ancestry's dataabases.

Does anyone have additional knowledge of them, please?
Thanks

Margaret Tippins is my GGG Grandfathers sister.

She married George Evans in 1842 and they had 7 children. Their first child was born in Glamorgan and all other children in Northumberland/Lancaster/Scotland.

Do you have any details of the children, please? I'm now faced with two possibilities - yours and Shepway's .......It was uncle William Tippins 1773 who was a 4th gt grandfather.

This is the other family referenced ( initial impression is that this does not feel like Margaret TIPPINS, but....)

Thanks, Slowhands. The presence of stepchildren Jones would indicate that Margaret was formerly a Jones, whereas Margaret Tippins was declared as a spinster on marriage to George Evans.

Thanks, Mike. Good investigation! the link is certainly Noah, the rest now fits, especially the location, Berry Hill.

Pleased to be of help. For more evidence search for Evans(forename)YORK and tick soundex box in parish registers on this site. You will get 9 useful entries including marriage of Harriet born 1849.

Mike

I think the York name comes into it because Margaret's mothers maiden name was York so maybe they adopted than name rather than George's surname of Evans?

I would just have assumed that when Margaret married George they would then take on the surname Evans.

The search has thrown up another puzzle......Timothy Evans who was an Evans on the 61 and 81 censuses and a York on the 71, 91 and 01. His father appears to have been John, a York on 41, 51, 71 and 81, and Evans on 61. I can't work out how he connects to Margaret Tippins or her mother Hannah York - yet. Help,please!!

John could be a brother to George baptised 1818 at Christchurch. There are 2 possible baptisms:
Year: 1808

No guarantees but Jane could be also a brother to George:

Given that John is aged 41 in the 1851 Census and 72 in the 1881 Census then the 1808 baptism is the most likely one.

BTW baptism register for Christchurch commences 1814.

As you state the marriage in 1842 was between George Evans & Margaret Tippins:

Margarets parents were Richard Tippins baptised 2 Mar 1785 & Hannah YORK baptised 1 Mar 1781. They married 19 Oct 1808 Newland. But I expect you know all this and it was not your question. I cannot believe the family would have changed surnames to match a mother in law, so think the York finding a red herring.

1851 Census Coleford
TIPPINS Richard 75 Pauper Chimney Sweep Newland
Hannah 84 Newland

My connection here is that Richard Tippins grandmother on his maternal side was Susanna Marfell 1706 who married Thomas Wilce 1707.

Margarets parents were Richard Tippins baptised 2 Mar 1785 & Hannah YORK baptised 1 Mar 1781. They married 19 Oct 1808 Newland. But I expect you know all this and it was not your question. I cannot believe the family would have changed surnames to match a mother in law, so think the York finding a red herring.

I have to disagree as there is much evidence to be satisfied that this is the same family. In particular I would draw your attention to the following Parish Register entries:

1851 EVANS-YORK Noah Baptism Christchurch
1879 EVANS-YORK Mary Anne Marriage Christchurch
1887 YORK John Evans Burial Christchurch
1888 YORK Elizabeth Evans Burial Christchurch
1945 YORK William Thomas Evans Burial Christchurch

1884 YORKE Myra Evans Marriage Christchurch
1901 YORKE Mary Louisa Evans Marriage Christchurch
1909 YORKE Gertrude Lena Evans Marriage Christchurch
1869 YORK Harriet-Evans Marriage Clearwell

Mike

Richard Tippins was the father of Margaret. Margaret was my GG Grandmother's sister.
Margaret married George Evans so I cannot see how their surname would then become York even if Margaret's mothers maiden name was York, this would be very unusual.
The Yorks must be another family altogether.

I have George Evans married to Margaret Tippins on 1 November 1842. They have 7 children. The First child Mary born in glamorgan and the others born either Northumberland or Scotland

Julie

Hi Julie,

I have the same info as you. Mary Evans was the first born to George and Margaret and she was born in Glamorgan. Their other children were born in either Northumberland or Lancashire. They had Mary, Daniel,George, Sarah, Thomas,Mariam and Moses.

He's living with son Ben and Ben's second wife Rosamund(?) in Aberstruth. Indexed FORK and ZENK. Also there are Daughter Myra?Mira?Miriam/Myrna married to her rather older husband James (indexed Pumeo)Preece. Simple family!

Ben Zenk Head 35 abt 1856 Male Berry Hill Gloucestershire England
Rosamond Zenk Wife 34 abt 1857 Female Brokend Gloucestershire England
Alfred Zenk Son 10 abt 1881 Male Monmouthshire Wales
Amelia Zenk Daughter 8 abt 1883 Female Berry Hill Gloucestershire England
Thos Zenk Son 6 abt 1885 Male Berry Hill Gloucestershire England
Ernest Zenk Son 3 abt 1888 Male Bickurse Gloucestershire England
Wm Zenk Son 2 abt 1889 Male Berry Hill Gloucestershire England
Geo Fork Visitor 72 abt 1819 Male Berry Hill Gloucestershire England
Pumeo Preece Lodger 65 abt 1826 Male Berry Hill Gloucestershire England
Myrna Preece Lodger 33 abt 1858 Female Berry Hill Gloucestershire England

I believe Hannah York 1780 had a brother William YORK who married a Sarah EVANS. Their son John is a York in most records, but Evans on 1861 census. John's son Timothy starts as a York but becomes Timothy Evans York by his second marriage to Elizabeth Russell in 1910. His children also have Evans as middle name......
