Elsie,

You say that 5xGGF was born c1821 but his bride was born c1729?

Obviously a typo error.

Can anyone help? [ mY 5 X GGF WILLIAM EVANS bn. around 1821 in Salford Manchester Lancashire, who went on to marry Caroline Jones bn. around 1828 in Wrexham Wales at Manchester Cathedral] - was - in his early 20's - enlisted in the 98th of foot regiment - based at Tib or Tibb street barracks in Manchester.
