Where to look for those who are English but the child possibly born in France.

1.  1854 marriage in Islington for Louisa's "sister" Sarah Maslin Evett. I'm unable to view the marriage record, but I'm curious as to who she names as her father (and his occupation).

father is George Evett, a greengrocer
witnesses are E.Flowers and A.Evett

Everyone signs
the groom George Henry Eggleton, is a Baker.

2.  1848 marriage in Yeovil for a Jane Maslin Evett. Is she another "sister"? What's her story?

Cert says Jane Evett, but she signs Jane Maslin Evett
father George, a pawn broker
witnesses Sarah Maslin Evett and John Bishop

James PAYNE (the husband) is an engineer
Jane is a school mistress.
both of West Chinnock.

Richard and Jane (Elizabeth Maslen's parents) baptised a son, Richard in 1769 in Upavon. If he married a Jane, the witnesses could be Sarah's aunt and uncle rather than her grandparents.

Found a marriage of a Richard Maslin widower to a Jane Eades spinster in  Bethnal Green on 6th May 1823 (after Sarah Maslin married Richard Sissons). There is some similarity in the signatures, but Jane would have to have been calling herself Maslin before marriage for it to work.

Louisa states on her marriage cert that her father is George. Because I found no evidence of him I wondered if she was recording George Evitt but naming him George Maslin ! Of course this supposition with no evidence.
I can’t follow through the amazing info at the moment due to a big family gathering here !
I’ll be back on line later.
Thank you so much to all of you for helping with so much work !
I am so grateful !✨🌟✨

mckha489 - thank you for the details! The witness A. Evett could be sister Amelia.

Name Amelia Evett
Birth registration year 1838
Mother's maiden name Maslin
District Holborn

This is probably the Evett family in the 1841 census (all born in County) --

Payn Street, Islington

George Evett   45  Labourer
Jane      40
George   15
Sarah   9
Amelia   3

I'm not finding George and/or Jane Evett (with Amelia) after 1841. In theory, Amelia should be in the 1851 census somewhere (if she's the witness at Sarah's wedding in 1854).

I'm not seeing a marriage for George Evett to a Jane Maslin/Maslen. In fact, Amelia's is the only birth record I've found for their children so far.

Interesting that Sarah Maslin Evett made it down to Yeovil for Jane's 1848 marriage. Are they sisters?

Re Jane (the one who married James Payne)
Jane is in West Chinnock in 1841 as a governess. (No children in the household though)
Anyway..I was posting to say that I think the witness to the marriage, John Bishop, is probably the Farmer
