Hi Karen,

What was Violet's father's occupation on her birth cert?

The birth registration details for Violet suggets that the registration may have been subject to some sort of amendment or other anomaly.  What is the date of registration, and who was the informant?

It looks as though a Robert Evans b abt 1834 Worcester may have spent some time at 19 School Lane, Leominster at around the relevant time - he may be worth following up in case there is a link.

John Evans was an Agricultural Labourer according to her birth certificate. her mother Maud was the imformant.

I think there is likely to be a link with William James Lewis and Elizabeth Ann Wade, who married in Cheltenham in 1889 and were in Hereford by 1901.  I believe they subsequently moved to 19 School Lane, Leominster (I suggest you look up William in the 1911 census, which we can’t give details of here).

Elizabeth was 38 b Monmouth in 1901: RG13/2480/19/29 (William was 31 b London, so b abt 1870).

Many many thanks
