I am looking for my grandfather Albert Edward Evans born about 1891 - he married Ada Bedster - Lived in Sittingboune Kent. Had 2 children. He worked as an electrician in the paper mill. He died in 1950. Regretfully I never asked where he was born. My mother did tell me that we had relations in Canada - but I do not know.

You will need to purchase Albert and Ada's marriage certificate to ascertain his father's details

Hi Pauline, I was looking for my grandad Albert Edward Evans and I saw your letter. I am only sending a note to you as it is quite a coincidence. My name is also Pauline. Happy searching.
Regards
Pauline
