LancashireAnn, This makes a lot of sense to me. One of my ancestors was born out of wedlock. I was told the story but I wasn't interested in my family history at the time. I really believe you have solved this story.

Austin, Thank you. Yes, my granddads mothers maiden name was Calvert. I am going to order the certificate.

Oh, I think you said mother's maiden name was Calvert? So Tamworth birth is correct:

This is on Staffs BMD:

1902
EVANS Albert Edward Fazeley Newcastle-Under-Lyme CALVERT F/39/437

and his brother:

1900
EVANS William Henry Fazeley Newcastle-Under-Lyme CALVERT F/38/53

Hi everyone, I have just started doing my tree again. I have bought 3 certificates for my granddad Albert Edward Evans and they were the wrong ones. I have worked out that he was born on the 11/06/1902 Bolehall and Glascote County/Island: Warwickshire. Can anyone please help me find the right one.
Thank you.

Thank you both so much for all this information. I guess I am the Pauline that has the tree. I have not been able to find my grandads birth certificate so far. The one Vivienne has with Ella May on it is the right one. There was a Mary Emma who seems to have disappeared from the census. She was born in 1896?
I will study what you have both written.
Thank you both once again.

After a search of trees this Albert Evans birth year matches up to one in a tree that has the name Pauline as owner.
But as you can see he was not born in Bargoed his father says on the 1911 census.
Or shouid Walter be William?

Although it is the same family as posted back in 2008 for the 1901.
No Walter in sight,but may have been born after 1911?

Edit..maybe why you cant find his birth in Glamorgan Bargoed Ann,I think it comes under Merthyr,but not certain.

And I also note that Robert and Sarah still have the same ages as in 1901,they havent aged a year!!

FannyByGaslight Report 21 Nov 2009 16:11

Maybe with the year and place of birth of at least Grandfather Albert they may be able to be found on 1911 census and then it can all be checked that info is correct?
Although some of Grandfathers siblings years of birth would be a big help?

lancashireAnn

lancashireAnn Report 21 Nov 2009 16:00

You have said you think they were living in Bargoed at the time of your grandfather Albert Edwards birth. Do you have his birth certificate which would prove both his parents names.
You said at first you thought his parents married in Manchester but the certificate you bought was for a marriage in Glamorgan. Do you know his mother was definitely called Sarah?

also from you first post you seemed to think that the Robert Evans 1901 census posted was the right one but the children's names only match 2 of those you listed.
