Find Ancestors

hi i a new to this genealogy and i have no relatives left on my late fathers side who can help me with my quest. my dad (john matthew phelps) was the grandson of an Eva Alice Phelps nee Butler who died in 1933 aged 55. I have some photographs of her and she looks beautiful but i have no other information on her other than she married a Henry John Phelps (my great-grandfather) and they had one son Cecil John (my grandfather). It is believed she originally came from Bedminster in Bristol. Her husband Henry originally came from Box in Wiltshire but the family moved to Cardiff before my grandfather was born in the early 1900's. If anyone has any information on this lady I would be ever so grateful.

Hi Julie

I have found the marriage of Eva and Henry in Cardiff 1905

I thought I had found Eva born 1880 in Corsham but its not her, Eva Alice was born in Bedminster Gloucestershire Sept qtr 1881, thats as near I can get as I can find her on 1891 & 1901

Hope it helps

Irene
