Hi and thanks for looking anyway Tom. I did see this couple in 1881 but not convinced he is the right one Marriage Wrexham Civil Peter Evans to Sarah Ann Beckett/Louisa Lloyd Jun 1/4 1877 I think it more likely he is Peter Evans son of Richard and Elizabeth Evans.

From the book "Coedpoeth Past" (Re Penygelli School) ...G.J. Jones assisted by Peter Christmas Evans, son of Peter Evans, stonemason. He later became Mayor of one of the States Of America, three times. That's why I couldn't find him. ;D

I'd previously found this marriage but wasn't sure. It now seems more promising. West Derby Sep 1/4 1879 Peter Christmas Evans to Louisa Kent

Thank to some very helpful people on another forum, I now have a wealth of info on Peter. The California Death Index has a Peter Christmas Evans born 25 Dec. 1854 and died 23 Feb. 1947 in Los Angeles. Page 220 carries a photo of Peter C Evans, a grocer www.archive.org/details/notablemenofcent00stodI will add some further info later.
