Hi Daisy

That is fantastic - thank you!  There does seem to be a difficulty pinning down her exact age but I take it that is fairly common? I had found the same one as you when she was a servant in the Essex household but what yu have gien me pins it down more certainly. 

The information you have given me and from her age on her marriage certificate she was born either in 1872/ 74 or 6 !  Suppose need to try and find a birth certificate now

Thanks again for your efforts.

And dad was around in 1897 for the marriage - so does that rule Dudley out as mother is listed there as a widow? 

So sorry - Thomas Evans born 1903 in Llandilofawr - other kids Albert 1906, Gwyn 1908 and youngest was Muriel 1911 - all Llandilofawr. Thanks

Family insist she came from Worcestershire and went back to live in Leighsinton area after she was widowed - and wher eshje is understood to have died - cannot find death record either - under Isabella Evans, Isabel Evans, Annie Evans. No-one quite sure when but mum recalls her well and she was born in 1932 - so I guessed about 9/10 years later as a starting point.   

Hi - Her father on her marriage certificate is James Davies - do not have birth certificates for the other two just looked up variations of Isabel, Isabella and both Davies and Davis between 1872 and 1874 - and could not find one in Worcestershire.

So Roderick Evans (1860) married Annie Isabella Davies on 20/11/1897- she is listed as 25 so 1872 birth.  In 1901 census she is Annie Isabel Evans aged 27 so 1874 birth -   when son appears in 1903 certificate says Isabella Evans formerly Davies. Their youngest daughter, still alive, claims she was Isabella but changed to Annie because husband could not say it and that surname was Davis. She was from Worcestershire..  How do I find her birth? Tried every combination of surnames and first names and dates of birth - and been stumped.
