Looking for birth of Albert Charles Evans in Lambeth about 1867/9

[elsinore]

Hello,

I have been trying to find Albert Charles Evan's birth in Lambeth for 20 years now!

From the Free BMD there are 4 Albert Charles Evans born about 1867/9 but non in Lambeth.

On his army papers it states that his father is J. Evans from Lambeth and on his marriage certificate dated 1893 it states that his father was James Evans, labourer and Albert is aged 26. He signed his marriage certificate.

On the 1911 census he says he was born in Lambeth. His age is now 40!

He died 1932 aged 61.

The only thing that my mother knows is that her aunt told her that he had two sisters who were governesses - she didn't know any names.......

Albert is my mother's grandfather - my mum is 84 and I would love to find him for her.

Thanks,
Linda

The only one that comes up with a wife's name of anything near Helena on 1901 is

Albert Evans 33 Engine ship fitter born New Brompton Kent
d of b = 1867
Helen 31 born Scotland
Frederick 6 New Brompton Kent

The Helena Sarah B/P Clark / Evans we need was born Dover Buckland c1876 according to 1911 free index. Confirmed index entry from FreeBMD is

Births Jun Quarter of 1876   
~~~~~~~~
 
CLARK  Helena Sarah B    Dover  2a 923   



I cant find them in 1901, nor either of them as single people in earlier census!

And who were the witnesses to their marriage?

Can often be useful siblings or a way of finding people on censuses.

It seems the B stands for Bland.

-----------------------------------

I can't find him on the 1871, 1881, 1891 nor 1901 census.

Another strange thing was his father's name - on his marriage certificate it is James and on his army papers it is John.

There are 2 addresses on his army papers:
94 Cromwell Road, Lambeth - this is crossed out and
18 Termisori Street, South Lambeth, S.W.

Details of marriage:
marriage certificate  30 Dec 1893  30th December 1893 - Albert Charles Evans - 26 - bachelor -  gunner R.A. - Dover  Castle - father James Evans - labourer.  Helena Sarah Bland Clark - 18 - spinster - 65 London Road -  father Thomas Bland  Clark - sailor deceased. Both signed their  names. Witnesses John Shepherd & Olive Clark.  The Parish Church, Buckland, Dover  Kent

Thanks, Linda
