    Hello elizabethj,

    Welcome to British-Genealogy.

    The 1841 census shows two Andrew Evan, born Worcestershire, one born 1781 and one born 1796.
    I presume yours is the one born 1781, and living with a Susannah in the parish of St Peter Worcester in 1841. Census ref HO107/1209/17 folio 23 page 4.

    Which records have you looked at for Andrew's birth/baptism? Online parish registers for Worcester/shire? FreeREG? FamilySearch?

    ADDED: (for other sleuths who, like me, are not familiar with Worcester/shire) - Bedwardine St Johns

    51 census (HO107/2042/3) says he was born in Worcester itself. You might need a trip to Worcester Record Office to browse the city registers. FS only gives the 1794 birth in Rock who is the other census entry Pam found. I did check the Non Conformist index, but no joy.
