I am seeking to identify and trace the origins of my Great-Great Grandmother. I can only confirm her name as "Jane" and that she hailed from Llanwrin. She was wed to one GRIFFITH EVANS~ b. circa 1826 Dolgellau. The couple moved to Treborth~ Bangor (Gwynedd)~ where Griffith was engaged in the final construction of the Britannia Railway Bridge. Remaining in the hamlet of Treborth~ he secured employment in the capacity of a Railway Platelayer until retirement. He died circa 1901. However "Jane" died in 1906 suffering from dementia~ when she walked into the Britannia Tubular Bridge and was struck by a passing train. They had 6 or 7 children~ one of whom was my Great-Grandfather~ John EVANS~ who spent his working life working on the railway from Treborth. He had a sister~ Mary Grace JONES nee Evans~ who resided at Beulah Chapel House~ Penrhos~ Bangor~ until her death in the 1950's.**Can anyone assist me? (Gwyn Roberts Tel.
