Would someone be kind enough to assist me trying to find if William George Evans who was married to Emily and lived in Brock Street, Bath.
Was Emily already an Evans and is this her family? Found a marriage Sept 1858 5C 1034 for William and an Emily Sept 1858 5C 1054 (looks suspect to me and should read 1034 me thinks).

Was this family Emily?

EVANS, William Head Married M 38 1813 Carpenter (Journeyman) Walcot Somerset
EVANS, Sarah Wife Married F 39 1812 Hendon Wiltshire
EVANS, Emily Daughter F 12 1839 Scholar Bristol Gloucestershire

Hello Christine, do you have any idea of a first name, or a wife, children?

Mike * Report 7 Feb 2011 19:58

We need to start with a name.

Was his real christian name Captain ?
1900's is too vague....could be 1901 or 1998 ??

Tell us how you got back to him. Who is he related to ?

Mike * Report 7 Feb 2011 19:59

There are lots of records for people with first name Captain on freebmd but none for Evans. ( up to 1940 anyway)

Christine Report 7 Feb 2011 20:50

Thank you for your help so far. This is merely hearsay and the only other information is that he is believed to have been a Captain in Queen Victoria's Dragoon Guards as he was presented with a sword by HRH in the name of William Evans was known as Louie would have been early 1900's as my father was taken to see him as a boy and my father was born in 1895. William (Louie) was allegedly his grandfather but not through marriage. I've tried the freebmd but I wandered if I could track him down as he lived in Brock Street, Bath.

I've linked up William George Evans marrying Emily Evans Sept 1858. So Emily Evans marries an Evans??? Do they produce two girls with the same names as her sisters? OR am I imagining this?

Any help would be truly appreciated.

Thank you Lynne for the additional information. The plot thickens!

Is there a source which I can search of who owns houses please?

MarieCeleste

MarieCeleste Report 9 Feb 2011 18:40

Christine - you can check ownership of houses on Land Registry - www.landregistry.gov.uk.

But, bear in mind that the owner of the house may not have been the occupant.
