Can anyone help please......I'm searching for info on my great great grandfather.
On his marriage certificate he is listed as Henry Norman Evans b.1885 in Woking, Surrey.
On the 1911 cencus he is listed as Harry Norman Evans. (same date and place of birth)

I know he married Ada Blanche Leach and they had at least 1 son together. His wife had a 5yr old when they married so not sure if Percy was his. But Ada was 6 months pregnant when they married, but he is definatly the father to that child. ( My great grandad)

I'm after any help to trace Henry/Harry's parents/siblings. I've just hit a brick wall. cant find him before 1911 cencus. His father was a Henry. I got this info from his marriage cert. His father was a general labourer. If u need any more info please ask.

Thanks. Dee

yeah I did see that one, but the year threw me. So don't thimk it's correct one. I could be wrong. There's no one alive who I could ask, so just going on age at time of marriage etc. This would work out 1884/85.

Just to say that Guildford would cover Woking
