She appears on a lot of passenger's lists but no place of birth I would think she would have been born in South Africa ...Her brother born south africa there is a early record for the family arriving back in London 1 November 1906 departure Cape Town ..

Rosie, many thanks for looking.
I am trying to extend my knowledge of the GAUNTLETT family in South Africa [but struggling]!

You might be better to ask the moderator to move this post to the South Africa board you might get more information ...
Good Luck

On Familysearch and the National archives of South Africa I can find no records of Evelyn. This is all I can find.
Vivian the brother aged 34 born in the Transvaal married on the 28/6/1940 to Sybil Elizabeth Laura Gauntlett born Delbridge aged 27. Here is the marriage certificate https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-L9MW-F3PS?i=47&cc=1935348https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-L9MW-F3PS?i=47&cc=1935348
Here is the brothers estate.

REMARKS SURVIVING SPOUSE DOROTHY MABEL GAUNTLETT.
I found a marriage for Henry to Dorothy Mabel Griffin born Pearce on the 13/11/1913. It states Henry was aged 36 and divorced. Dorothy was 27 and a widow https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QSQ-G94X-23G5?i=22&cc=1935348
Gets more interesting. Henry and Dorothy had a daughter Charmian Elizabeth Rosemary born 25/5/1919 in Johannesburg. Henry was an accountant. Here is the baptism, look for Gauntlett on the form https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-6PZC-57?i=221&cc=1468076
Here is the death notice of Charles Augustus Gauntlett father of Henry Gauntlett. Charles died on the 10/10/1902 https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CS92-C9JM-K?i=500&cc=2520237
According to this Henry was insolvent in 1908. Perhaps thats why he ended up getting divorced.
