Evelyn Watson
« on: Wednesday 08 August 18 15:32 BST (UK) »
This is a follow up to information I discovered in a previous post. I am looking for information on Evelyn Watson, that his her married name, before marriage she was called Evelyn Russell and she was born in 1886 in Leeds. I am interested in when and where she married and where she lived after marriage, I am trying to find if she had any connection with a town called Teddington in the district of Kingston., there are a few Evelyn Russell in BMD but non which include spouse surname.
Many Thanks Brenda

Previous post mentioning Evelyn: http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=797406.msg6553045#msg6553045

Just to clarify, are you saying that she was Evelyn Watson at the time she notified her brother's death (Oct-Nov 1918)?

Have you found her in the 1901 and 1911 censuses, and if so, where was she and what name was she using then?

Also, is she in the 1939 register? With a husband?

1901 census: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X9PX-MPL

At Rock View Road, Leeds with father John and brothers Harold (19) and Roland (12).

The 2 brothers are with father William(?) on the 1911 census.
No sign of Evelyn.

Yes, she was Evelyn Watson when she registered her brothers death in 1918, her maiden name was Evelyn Russell and I have her in all census up to 1911, I cannot find her in the 1937 register.

She was still Evelyn Russell in the 1911 census and she lived  in the Burnantofts area of Leeds, she must have married therefor between 1911 and 1918.

I cannot find a marriage or a death for her.

Thanks

I have all the information about Evelyn, I lived in the same area as a child, I just need the marriage info, thank you also Rosie, I also have the picture of 3 Windsor Road, looks a grand house, the death certificate of victims of the flu pandemic shows the number of days of the illness, Roland’s says 7 days, so I presume that he would have been in isolation for this length if time,  maybe the House was taken over as an isolation hospital, this is why I am trying to find out why his sister was with him, they were poor as children so unless she married soneone with a lot of money it could not have been her house. I have written to the Teddington Historical society to see if I can find any information about the house.
Thanks everyone!

Is this her birth?

Oct/Nov/Dec 1885 Leeds  Eveline Russell

Possible marriage:
Apr/May/Jun 1913 Paddington - Eveline Russell to either Percival Raphael or Charles E L Heath


No forget that - she dies as Eveline Raphael - so didnt remarry to a Watson as I was hoping! Being war time I thought there was a strong chance that she could be widowed and remarried by 1918...

Posting anyway to save anyone else going through the same  process

There is also a marriage in 1915 of an Evelyn Russell to a Thomas Hebert Muir. The allegation gives her an address in Teddington, which is interesting though could be a coincidence!
