Chris Report 19 Mar 2013 13:34

I'm trying to trace decendents of George Daniel Evans B1863 Deptford, and Elizabeth Sullivan.
They had 4 children, Hannah, George, Thomas and Cecil. I beleive cecil died in infancy.
They all appear on the 1901 census, but I do not know what happened to them afterwards.
Hannah was my Great Grandmother.

Any help is appreciated

Hi to all,
Thanks very much for the replies.

Yes George's parents were Robert Evans and Hannah Wagland.

Judjing from the date Elizabeth Sullian died, I think George must have remarried in 1900 to Edith, although I do not know any details of her.

Hannah was born in 1894 in Greenwich. Some records have her as George's daughter, and some have her as a neice. This maybe due to George's sister Hannah (B1872) having this child out of wedlock.

I am keen to discover if George Oliver Evans or Thomas Edmund Evans (George's sons) ever married and had children.

Thanks

Chris

Thanks Pricklyholly,
It seems strage that he moves from being Daniel to Thomas, but as not only is the Edith still mentioned, but all the children are also present, so I guess it must be the same family.
I do not think there were too many Evans in the area at the time, espacially from Deptford, so this could be the same family.
I do not have to hand all my census data, but can advise later.
Thanks again.
