Welcome to Rootschat

Very little info given to enable anybody to help you

Whereabouts in Australia was she born?  Do you have her birth cert?

“Believed adopted”. What records do you have to support that?

Did she marry?  To whom & when & where? 

What surname did she marry under & did she name a father on her marriage cert?

Did she have any children who are still living that you can ask for info?  Please do not name any living relatives

When & where did she die?

There is a Tree on Ancestry giving full details of her parents & siblings

Her mother died 1961 - any mention of Evelyn in her obituary?

[shume]

There is a tree on Ancestry.com.au which gives her birth in 1919 in Subiaco, WA.
She had 3 sisters Elsie, Edna, Ethel and one brother (details on tree) and died NSW 1996. Mother Lena died 1961 as stated.

Thanks for your input. The tree on Ancestry is mine and I have a great deal of information re all my families history except Evelyn's. she was born out of wedlock and I think was adopted out in NSW in 1919 after her Mother Lena Dyer returned to NSW.
Her birth mother took her birth information to her grave and her other children were unaware as was her husband who was still serving overseas and did not return to Australia until late 1919.
it was only after my mother was born in 1923 that Evelyn showed up on her birth certificate as previous sibling issue. After 100 years I was able to access Evelyn's WA birth Certificate and found out her birth date, however the father is shown as Lena's husband Ernest Dyer, which we now know is incorrect and hence Lena's desire for Evelyn's presence not to be known.
Kind regards
Alan

I would say the trees on Ancestry are authored by our Original Poster here, AlKeallz, judging by the similarity in the names listed as owning the family trees.

There are 9 trees with her on .none ohave records.
It would be strange for a middle child to be adopted.
If she was adopted INTO this family id expect her to be named in siblgs obituaries i

Wouldn't she be more likely born premarriage 1908 to single mother Lena Richter and adopted out of the family
