David Edward Evans was born in 1891 and during his early years lived at Hendwr, Llandrillo, Merionethshire with his father Robert Evans.    Sometime prior to 1911 he moved to the Holywell, Flintshire area where he obtained employment as a Grocer’s Assistant in Holywell.

The 1911 census states that he was living at that time with his uncle, Hugh William Hammond and family at Bryn Caesar, Holywell.

Little is known of him until his death in 1918 but at some stage prior to that he had married a Holywell lady named Vera and they lived at Blodwen Villas, Holywell.  She later moved to Hopefield, Holywell.

He is also remembered on The North Wales Heroes Memorial Arch, Deiniol Road, Bangor, Gwynedd, North Wales.

There is a Flintshire Roll of Honour card for David Edward Evans at the County Archives Office, Hawarden.
