Henry Evans (Boilermaker by trade) married Susannah McMahon (nee Hynes) in 1903 in Barry they lived at 34 George Street, Barry does anyone know if they had any children of their own after 1903. I know Susannah had a son and a daughter before her marriage to Henry but wondering if they added to the family. I believe they may have moved to Seacombe, Cheshire at some stage. I do know that at some point Henry lived 3 Gladstone Road, Wallasey, Cheshire, maybe this is where the family moved to instead of Seccombe.
