Richard Evans - Buried 12 Dec 1936 - London Road Civic Cemetery - Coventry
« on: Friday 02 September 22 08:18 BST (UK) »
I have been trying to find Richard Evans b. 1887 in Coventry on 1921 census and 1939 Register without any luck.  He is not the Richard Evans living with Maggie and George Evans.

I have his war record and and all the earlier census records.

I have found the above burial for Ricard Evans aged 49 and wondered if this might be him but can not find any further information from Findagrave etc.

Any help with more details regarding this burial that might help determine if he is the one I am looking for would be very much appreciated.

Thank you for your quick response BumbleB.  Pretty sure that’s him as he had a brother called Ernest David.

Not sure how I managed to miss that probate record ☺️

Your expert eye is much appreciated.
