Sue, I assume she says she 20 on marriage?

Thanks Karen, you are a star!

Meg, I will in a while.

Forgive me, I HAVE to feed hubby as he was running in a race in Mid Wales today and is waiting to be fed and giving me evil looks.

Thanks for continuing to help, now where is she??

Back asap

Sue

Edit: yes Meg she was.

Did he win? Cos we aren't winning with this lot.

Can't find a birth for Edith Emily 1900-1905.

they are not at 1 Phillips Terrace.

I think have looked at every spelling I can think of from Ray to Wray.

lol Meg, he is a veteran 10 miles 1hr 15mins.

Back with acute indigestion!

I cannot understand how that surname is proving so blasted elusive.

I am off to recheck my data first.

If anyone comes up with an idea please sing it out.

Thanks

Sue

glad to see all you other women are in thrall to your husband's stomachs, thought it was just me!

:-))) wonderful aren't they..men!

I found an Edith Roe reg'd Q1 1905 born in Edmonton.

Choccy - Wandsworth is a good area! but would that mean the child didn't survive?

Sue

Hubby is making dinner.

Here's a shame if it's her:

Who's the other witness on marriage?

Thanks Meg, I'll stop looking for her marriage for any more hints!

Sue

Edit: looks like E ?len L Kapp or Kaff

perhaps they hadn't thought of a name ! ?

Not really sure - couldn't see anything else ...

I've already looked at the witness, but couldn't see a connection -

maybe Evelyn and Ellen were friends or worked together (about the same age)

Could be Choccy, finding Evelyn is driving me nuts and probably everyone else on here!

Again, thanks to everyone for helping :-))

Sue

I was hoping Walter had married her.

lol Meg,

Whoever finds Evelyn I will slave for them for 30 days (except for ironing - I don't do ironing)

Sue

I know others have done the same and more, but just to recap I have been through all 164 pages of the 1911 that come up with variations on Rea, looking for Alex, Fred, Emily or Evelyn (and variations) - zilch. I thought I'd found her on the official 1911 mistranscribed as Eveline Emily (surname), but no. Although her mother's name is Emily, married to somebody else, but she wasn't a Rea before marriage. I've also looked to see if the surname has been transcribed as Alexander - no.

I've looked at immigration records, plenty of Rea's moving around but nothing that's them. I imagine several are Walter Russell's lot.

Running out of ideas.

I really do thank you all for helping.

The Bennetts are my direct line and I have all those little dears. Evelyn's hubby was in the Royal Navy, as were other Bennetts. I could understand if she disappeared after the marriage, I haven't even looked post marriage for children yet. However disappearing before the marriage is plain daft. I can't even find a marriage for her Father or definitively see him on census records.

The only fact I am pretty sure of is that........she's dead!

Sue

Sue,

Have you the names of the Godparents and what date was the baptism.

Hi Sue,

I only have the C of E baptism register for her sister Edith (2/5/05) so no extra info other than parents - I'm sorry.

If you have any ideas please...please...throw them in.

Thanks

Sue
