Odd that Emily was Emily Blease Forster but that the children are registered with Blease as her maiden name.

I am looking for relatives of Samuel Wright Evans 1861 - 1951. He was born in Bolton and served in the Green Howards in South Africa, and according to family legend was Mentioned in Despatches for an incident concerning Lord Baydon Powell. His wife was Emily (nee Blease Forster) - and he had two daughters, Minnie and Vera Evans. He lived in Irlam for many years.

As he married my Granny in 1911 it is quite possible he had a previous wife and/or children. Would be most interested to hear any news.
