I can't find Thomas Evans death - Reading
« on: Saturday 24 May 14 19:04 BST (UK) »
Hi

I've hit a brick wall and can't find any info on where and when Thomas Evans died:

b.8 Nov 1851 in Chesterton, Cambridgeshire
Lived in Reading from 1861.  Father William, mother Mary
1876:  Joined the Royal Engineers, Aldershot
Married: Mary Jane Holton 28 dec 1878 in Aldershot
1879: Now a Lance Corporal, Thomas Evans 13642 bought himself out of the military
1880:  Daughter Emma Alice born
1881 census:  living at No. 5 Alexandra Place, Frimley, Camberley, Surrey

Then he and wife Mary disappear

in 1891, daughter Emma is living with Grandparents in Woodley William and step grandmother Caroline Evans

Any help or guidance in finding Thomas (and wife Mary Jane) after 1881 would be very gratefully received!

Thanks so much

Val

Claire, this is amazing!  This must be them and can't wait to get the certificates, and must go to visit the Church too.

Thank you SO much!!!  You've added an important part of our family history.  Thomas is my 3rd Gt Grandfather.  My 86 year old aunt will be thrilled too at having another piece of information about her Gt Grandfather.
