Would some kind person please look up on the 1939 register to see where a person was living please.
In 1921 Bert Evans and May Miriam Evans were at
1 Wheeler street, Headcorn,Kent.
If they were still there was anyone else living with them!

I am trying to find out if they had children but searching brings up several children in Aylesbury and Winslow which are not the right areas unless they had moved maybe?
Thanks

Is this them

Marriages Jun 1921
Evans Bert Syrett Hollingbourne 2a 1937
Syrett May M Evans Hollingbourne 2a 1937


We cross posted !

Yes

Not picking them up at all

Headcorn is in the parish of hollingbourne

There’s no Kent births for that surname combi


Were they both single at marriage as not picking up a birth for May

Who was her Dad?

No I just searched nationally and some came up in bucks in Aylesbury and Winslow.so wondering if they moved?Or maybe had no children and that's coincidence.
So you can't see them in1939 in Kent area?

Not picking them up anywhere !

Not too worry shirley.Thanks for your help.
I shall go back to the drawing board and research a bit more.

Where was May born?

I don't see her birth on FreeBMD

I'm wondering if this is a remarriage for some reason, with Bert using the surname Taylor:

Various different mistranscriptions of the address in different years.

The Winslow births are probably this couple

Syrett Alice L Evans Winslow 3a 2087

And the Aylesbury ones as found then together on the 1939 register

Still looking

Well ladies, thanks for the info, very helpful. I cant understand why they changed their names to Taylor though?
I may order May's death certificate or the Taylor marriage cert as that will confirm if it was indeed the right people.
May was born in St marys cray(Bromley area).

I have been doing this family tree for years but wanted to see if there was a living line with this marriage as the other siblings died young except for one and i have all those details.
Once i get the certificate, ill come back and let you know.

Thanks again for your help
