What details were recorded for Evelyn's dad on the marriage certificate?

Walter Roberts of Newbury.
If it sounds safe-ish to presume Evelyn 'May' and Evelyn Mary are the same person I'll pursue that some more (I only received the marriage certificate yesterday).

Hi
The death in Walsall may well be Evelyn M Willey born 1916 in Walsall 1939 who went on to marry a Mr Poole.
There is also a family tree for the birth in A de la Z complete with photos but with a different husband.
There is another possible son of that Roberts Poole marriage in the area born 1939 ,I'd take a look at him and where he ended up.
It looks like he died Brian William Poole 3 10 1939  in Milton Keynes Mar 2000

As for William H Poole ,it looks like he remarries at Newbury Sep 1947 to Violet V Webb
She died in North East Hampshire in 1999.

So it looks like the couple were divorced.

Very interesting, thanks so much for the insight.
The Black Country death I mentioned was in Cannock, an Evelyn Roberts (this was part of a theory about her getting divorced, going to live with family and reverting to maiden name, though I have no idea if the latter was even a thing back then).
Great find on the other stuff -again, thanks a lot.

You should also upload your MyHeritage results to FTDNA and to gedmatch to get access to more matches. Testing at AncestryDNA and 23andme would also give you access to many more matches. You cannot upload to those two sites.

If your father takes a Y-DNA test then that may help you to narrow down a surname group for his paternal line. You would need to use this in combination with autosomal test results to find the actual parent. To get matches on a Y-DNA test he would need to use FTDNA.

What details were recorded for Evelyn's dad on the marriage certificate?

Walter Roberts of Newbury.
If it sounds safe-ish to presume Evelyn 'May' and Evelyn Mary are the same person I'll pursue that some more (I only received the marriage certificate yesterday).

Free search of the 1939 show a Walter Roberts (1883) living in Newbury with Annie E Roberts (1892)

Possible parents of Evelyn May.

What was Evelyn's father's occupation on the marriage cert that you have?
