If Evelyn knew her father, his name will be on her marriage cert.
That would give you her maiden name
However, as well as there being no trace of a birth for Ivy Dorothy, there isn't one for Evelyn's son Reuben, bearing in mind that he is supposed to have been born in Reading
Looking at the birth years for Evelyn and Ivy, it isn't inconceivable that they were mother and daughter
It's also potentially significant that Ivy was in Reading in 1901

Thankyou everyone! Lots of new info. The 1911 Census with Smith family is right Evelyn and Reuben. 1939 for Reuben and also 1939 for Ivy and Harry also correct. Still hoping to find Evelyn’s maiden name

This is the only death for a Reuben Hood I can see.
Deaths Mar 1914 (>99%)
Hood Reuben 63 Chesterton 3b 576
Could Ivy be his daughter ?

There is a tree on ancestry that has Edward James Smith (from the above 1911 census) as Reuben's father, no marriage shown. It also suggests that Ivy is the daughter of William Hood and Evelyn Hood. There is nothing to back any of this up though.

Can't see Ivy's birth .
You may have to buy a copy of her marriage cert to see who she named as her father.

From the gro website, there are these 2 births.
Results:
Name: Mother's Maiden Surname: Order:
HOOD, REUBEN ALEXANDER ATTWELL Order
GRO Reference: 1904 S Quarter in NEWPORT MON Volume 11A Page 257 Order
HOOD, REUBEN ALFRED BALLS Order
GRO Reference: 1903 J Quarter in LODDON Volume 04B Page 215
So if the 1903 birth is YOUR Reuben, the mother's maiden name is Balls..
EDIT Looks like his parents were actually Alfred and Ellen so not him.

Trying to find maiden name for Evelyn Hood, who married Joseph Gower in 1915 (Godstone Surrey England) She was a widow, and had son Reuben Hood in 1903. When he married in 1922 he gave his father as Reuben Hood deceased.
When Evelyn died in 1944, she was buried in Redstone Cemetery, Surrey, along with her second husband Joseph Gower (died 1937). Also interred with them is Kathleen Matilda Joan House (1919 - 1965) whose parents were Harry James House and Ivy Dorothy nee Hood.
Can anyone help please with Evelyn's maiden name, and the connection with Kathleen Matilda Joan House?
Many thanks Maureen
