I am seeking information for Ray Evans who lives in Morphett Vale in South Australia.
Ray was born in Woolwich, London on 8th february 1926 and is now 91 yesrs of age.
He married Iris S. Wright in 1947 in Woolwich. Ray`s parents were Albert Douglas
Evans and Georgina Evans `nee Griffin, both were born circa 1900.
If any one can furnish me with any additional info. it would be greatly appreciated and Ray would be tickled pink to find out more about his family.

Deaths Mar 1956 (>99%)
EVANS Albert D 74 Greenwich 5c 720

The certificate probably said Albert Douglas otherwise Doulgas Albert, hence 2 etnries on the index. There would only be one certificate.

Albert Douglas Evans’ estate went to Probate
https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/#wills

EVANS Albert Douglas of 33 East Mascalls Charlton-road London S.E.7 died 24 February 1956 Administration London 9 March to Georgina Evans widow. Effects £240

Can’t spot an entry for Georgina in either 1973 or 1974. You can search later years for yourself on the above link. Its possible that her estate was so small that it didn’t need to go to Probate.

Thank you to Shirley, Maddie and DetEcTive for your research and information.
Ray, his granddaughter (and i ) greatly appreciate your efforts.
Cheers,
Noel :-)
