Find Living Relatives

I am now resuming my search for Michael J Evans. I have been in touch with Reigate Council to try and get the 1995 electoral roll, however they tell me that they have to destroy all records over 15 years old. They have now put me in touch with the Surrey History Centre in Woking and I am waiting for a response from them.
If I can find out if he was married and find his wife's name I can try again to find his marriage record and maybe get further with my search through the electoral rolls.

Thanks Rose, yes I have contacted the current owner who bought the property from a relocation company 9 years ago.
So I do not know when Michael Evans would have left the property, I only know that he was there in 1995.
I don't know if he ever married and if he did I don't know his wife's name.
I am therefore at a dead end.

Bob

Could it be 31 Yorke Gardens? Unfortunately the place was sold in 2005.

I now have the death certificate for Hedwig (Heti) Evans, the informant was her son, Michael John Evans. His address is difficult to read, but it is something like, 31 Yorlde Gardens, Reigate, Surrey. This was in 1995.

I have searched the electoral roll, but I never have much luck with this on Genes.

If anyone has a better search tool I would appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks Bob

I appreciate this is a long shot but there is a marriage for a Michael J Evans in 1977 Wandsworth.

Success, I have now received the birth certificate for Michael John Evans and the mothers maiden name is Hedwig Emilis Paula Evans formerly KEITLING, and she signed the certificate, Heti Evans.

The address on the certificate is 21 Blackfriars Road, Southwark.

So I finally have the mothers maiden name, but I am no closer to finding the current whereabouts of Michael John Evans.

I will now search the electoral roles in the area for Michael John Evans and any marriages in the area, any other ideas would be appreciated.

I searched FMP for overseas marriages but no luck.

FMP = Find My Past

Rose:

That is interesting, sorry to be a bit thick, but what is FMP?

Thanks
Robert

That could still be the correct birth certificate. The problem with specifying more details than required is they won't issue the certificate if your details don't EXACTLY match.

For example, she might have used Esther/Henrietta instead of Heti or the typist who worked on the birth registration indexes might have made an error typing Keitling, when it was really something different.

Have you looked on FMP for overseas marriages?

Pam:

Excellent, Stanley and family did live at 7 Elsynge Road, Wandsworth, until 1967.

This proves that Heti Paula Evans is the correct name. Wish I could find her maiden name.

I do not know who Ann M Trender or Laurence Trender were.

Stanley was also living there and the address was 7 Elsynge Road.

Edit:

Also in the house were Ann M Trender and Laurence Trender.

FAIRTHORN:

This looks a strong possibility, however I have searched the electroral roll for 1965 and they say there are no results for Heti Paula Evans.

Perhaps I am doinig something wrong!

Heti Paula Evans ??

London, England, Electoral Registers, 1832-1965 Census & Electoral Roll
Name: Heti Paula Evans
Residence: 1965 - city

patchem: I will order the death certificate for stanley.

I specified the mother as Heti Keitling hoping this was her maiden name..

Rose: I did order the certificate for the one born in Lambeth, how did you know he was an only child? I was guessing that Keitling was a German name.

Thanks for your help
Robert

The one born in Lambeth was an only child, has a German mother's maiden name and was in the area his father worked. Was this the one your ordered?

Rose

Death certificate for Stanley to see who the informant was?

When you asked for the birth certificate for Michael, did you just specify father Stanley, or more details?

I have received responses to my enquiries from several sources which has given me further information on Rev. Stanley Evans, but not Michael Evans. Stanley Evans was Vicar of St Marks Church, Battersea Rise from 1960 to 1967. He was then at Perry Hill from 1967 to 1976, Rural Deacon of West Lewisham from 1973 to 1977, Honorary Canon of Southwark from 1975, Vicar of Kingswood Diocese of Southwark from 1976. Vicarage, Woodland Way, Kingswood, Tadworth, Surrey. I believe Stanley died in 1983.

I ordered a birth cert for Michael, but had my fee refunded as they said that they could not match any of the Michaels with the details given. I just do not know where to go from here, help!!!

I have contacted St Marks Church, Lambeth Palace Records office and Metropolitan Archives for information. I have also ordered a birth certificate for Michael Evans from one on the list of Michaels, which I feel is the most likely.

I await responses to all these sources, unfortunately it takes quite a long time.
