Seeking Paternal 'birth grandparents' - Evelyn Roberts

[Delius]

You have a court document from the adoption hearing for Terence James Poole, at 1947.
How is mother recorded on this document. Is mother named.....does mother sign this document.

'Poole' and his mother are not mentioned. It's the hearing at which his adoption to the people I knew as my grandparents was confirmed. So it just says (slight paraphrase) :

It having been proven to the satisfaction of the Judge that the child was born on 13/06/45 and is identical with Terence James entered in the Register of Births in Kingsclere and Whitchurch... and the entry shall be marked 'adopted'.

My luck was in the relative rarity of the Christian name and the fact that searches can be carried out online without a surname.

Please can you post the following details from the marriage certificate:

1. Age and address of Evelyn
2. Where the marriage took place
3. Date of marriage
4. Witnesses to the mariage

1. Age 20, Address: Chockton Cottages, Stroud Green, Newbury
2. The Register Office, Newbury
3. 21st July 1938
4. ED Chandler / E Poole (I'm guessing this is Eleanor Poole)

Thus far it all seems to tie in with the 1919 Evelyn you were mentioning...?

Regarding the witnesses, the ED Chandler could be Edith Dora Poole b.25 Jun 1913, a sister of William Henry Poole, as per their father's Service record. Edith's marriage -

Edith D Poole
q4 1936, Newbury, Berks
Spouse - Stanley J Chandler
Volume 2c Page 796

Was hoping the ED Chandler was a relative of Evelyn, so no help there

JJ you've been hugely helpful, as has candrjm.
Your help has got me to the point where I believe I may have identified and tracked-down a couple of living siblings of my father! I need to order a couple of birth certificates now to rule out errors.

[JJen]

Pleased we have all been of help to you. If you need any further help then please don't hesitate to ask as there are many people on this site that have a wealth of knowledge and are only too happy to share with others. 

Happy hunting!

Part quote from JJ on page 2:

Possible parents of Evelyn May.

I think that we can rule that couple out as Evelyn's parents

possible birth of a daughter:

Yes I looked up the 1939 record and came to the same conclusion. Mother looks to be Ann Milsom (marriages 1913 referenced above). Which may be

Births Sep 1891 - Milsom, Ann -  Highworth    5a   30

I can't see another obvious candidate at this point, anyway.

Good question!
I started the process just wanting to know the history on my father's side, as I have for the past 25 years - who his birth parents were and perhaps get an idea of why he was adopted. Now there are possible siblings of his in the picture, it's quite exciting to be honest. I was up pretty late last night doing research. 
But at this precise moment I'm interested in working backwards to explore her background.
