    Chris,

    I believe that John Morgan Evans is the right man. I think he returned to Wales, so you probably won't find him on the London census from 1891 onwards.

      I believe John Evans was the name of Dr. Morgan Davies' correspondent.

      Yours truly,

              Thanks David, Chris and Tom, so John Morgan Evans must be the Morgan Evans in the London Hospital register. My dairyman turned sour then

                yes, well done Chris, David, Tom...although Tom could have mentioned the name John earlier on!

                ...and well done Rob for finding the guy in the first place!

                  I thought it might have been John but wasn't sure. Seems I came across that. I burned my bridges with the grandson of Morgan Davies by mentioning the Ripper connection before I was granted access to the archives. Someone else might want to contact him and try a different approach? He's a lawyer. But somewhere on the web is an inventory of what's left of Morgan Davies' personal papers and somewhere in there an Evans is mentioned, which means this item still exists in the archive. Word to your researcher.

                  Yours truly,

                    Hi guys
                    I have started a new thread about Davies - his daughter married a very prominent politician


                    Tom the niece named Evans is included in the 1891 listing for Davies a copy of which I posted on the thread above

The only place I've seen a Dr Morgan Evans mentioned was to do with the history of an old house in Wales, built by a Dr Morgan-Evans as a house and surgery in 1903, even then I think the name is a double barrelled surname as it appears with a hyphen.

                      He was there after all under the name John Morgan Evans
                      John Morgan Evans
                      The Cottage Llandrindod Wells, Radnorshire
                      1886, Aug. 23 E
                      Lic. R.Coll Phys. Lond, 1885
                      Mem. R. Coll.Surg. Eng., 1886

                      He was the same Dr Morgan-Evans that had the house and surgery built in 1903

                        Debs, yes there was a Dr Morgan Evans in Wales....but then there'd have to be! He worked on a Cardiff murder around 88 I think.

                          Hi Robert,
                          Yeah, the Welsh papers are full of stuff about John Morgan Evans' ! Just wish I knew what they were on about!!

                          Was he in Wales in 88 then? Do you have the details of the Cardiff case?

                            Sorry Debs, it was 1890.

                                Hi Debs,

                                If you - or anyone else - has a Welsh (language) Ripper-related article you need translating, please don't hesitate to PM me, and I'll gladly oblige.
                                Kind regards, Sam Flynn
