John EVANS of Liverpool, born abt 1800, married Lydia Hayes GIBSON at Holy Trinity Walton on the Hill in 1826. Had an interesting career - a woolen draper on his marriage, a manufacturing chemist in 1843 and a surveyor in 1859. When Lydia died in 1858 he was described as "formerly of Kirkdale Quarries, St Domingo Road". But he is never at home on the census! I am estimating his age as so far I have never found him on the census, also have no idea where he was born. Only clue so far is that in 1824 there was a company called EVANS & HOLT, mordant, charcoal & acid manufacturers at 19 Carruthers St; Joshua EVANS, mordant manufacturer at home in Kirkdale; and John GIBSON & Co , sal-ammoniac manufacturers at 15 Carruthers St. Bye Alison
