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
1893 YORK William Evans Marriage Christchurch
1910 YORKE Timothy Evans Marriage 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
