The Krinks and Evans families belong to the Williams line, Daniel Williams having married Emma Krinks (see Williams-Krinks).

Emma Krinks was living at 44 Churchgate, Stockport before her marriage. Her parents were John Evans Krinks and Elizabeth Krinks. I haven't been able to find any details of their marriage, but they are listed in the 1851 Census, which would have been taken a couple of months after the marriage of their daughter. They are living at 44 Churchgate and there are no other children living at home at that time. John is recorded as being 57, which would have meant he was born in 1793. His wife Elizabeth is aged 61, so she would have been born around 1790. John's occupation was General Agent, which, in the 19th Century, seems to have been some sort of overseer, either of a business or estate. His birthplace was Bosley, Cheshire, and there is a record of John Krinks christening on June 8th 1784* on the FamilySearch website.

Elizabeth came from Northwich, Cheshire. There is a historical map of Northwich in the Francis Frith collection at: Northwich, Cheshire.

I can't find any mention of John or Elizabeth in any census beyond 1851, but John Krinks died September 24th 1873 at the age of 82. He died from bronchitis at the home of his daughter and son-in-law, Emma and Daniel Williams at 42 Lower Moss Lane in Hulme, Manchester. He may have just been staying there because he was ill, or he may have moved in permanently because his wife had died. His granddaughter Elizabeth was present at the death. She would have been aged 16 or 17 at the time.

John Evans Krinks' parents were William Evans Krinks and Jane Evans. William Krinks was born about 1756 in Bosley, Cheshire, part of the Prestbury Parish. Jane Evans was born in 1760 in Bosley.

There is a record of their marriage in the "Cheshire: - Registers of Marriages, 1771-1789; Corrigendum. Vol. 2 (Prestbury, Part 1) which lists a William Krinks, Brassman, & Jane Evans**, both of Bosley, married by licence 23rd May 1781, probably in the church above.

Jane Evans' parents were Thomas and Martha Evans. Both were born in Woodchurch, Cheshire, Thomas in 1712 and Martha in 1716. The year after they married they had a son, Thomas, who died in 1738 in the first year of his life. Their daughter Martha was born in 1747, and Jane in 1760. As they had lost their only son, they must have asked William to take the Evans name and to pass it on to his sons.
