Interesting about Eva. She obviously existed, and called herself Davis, but I've turned the GRO indexes inside out and can't find her birth anywhere. I suspect she's not actually theirs. See if you can find her on the 1939 Register and/ or her marriage or death. Those certs might shed some light. I've been researching a rambling family like this and discovered one "sister" (who always had a different surname) was actually daughter of a maternal aunt, while another "sister" who had the "right" surname was born to a paternal uncle and with a different given name to the one the family knew her by. I had to spring for the relevant certs before the family member who had grown up among them, and for whom I am doing the research, would believe a word I said LOL. She still isn't totally convinced!

I see what you mean about eva and the fact she was born so long after the last one ethel 1885 could support this
Her death monument also states 1890 so the dates should be right
