Find Ancestors

Disparately trying to find mothers sister's .
mother had 3 sisters lily, Margaret Mary, there parent robert Evans married Mary ellen Mather in 1914.
Robert joined the royal engineers in 1914.
Roberts father was Christmas Evans born in north wales.
The Evans family lived in Ashton-in -makerfield
Mary mather was adopted daughter of the Griffith family who were miners in wigan area.(shown in 1891cen)
Any help would be greatly appreciated as they would be between 80 and 90 hence the urgency.

Just to get the births (sadly Margarette is plain margaret I think!)

Thanks janet for this and your help.

I'm not sure the Margaret born Holywell is correct. She was born the same year as Lily.

Here are the Wigan Evans/Mather births:

Births Mar 1915
EVANS Robert Mather Wigan 8c 325

Births Dec 1919
Evans Lily Mather Wigan 8c 328

Evans Mary A Mather Wigan 8c 316

Births Mar 1926

Births Mar 1929

No sign of a Margaret.

I'm sure you are right - my error.

Brian,

Evans is such a common name. Do you know where they might be living, where they got married? Anything would help.

Rose

Forgot the obvious - have you looked for other members who might have these names in their trees? Search box above left.

very little information on this side of family sorry.
my checks are showing family were miners in the wigan area and a place called Burlangham near wigan.
They were married in wigan last quarter of 1914 which shows robert evans as a widower at 20 and him being in the royal engineers formally a miner.
