• Notes

  She started school on 2/10/1899 (having previously been at St Pauls infant school), was "removed" 12/6/1902, and then readmitted 30/3/03 The best match on marriages is to Percy EVANS, Jul qtr 1917, (Southwark vol 1d, p188) but no corroborating evidence exists. She is a widow by the 1921 Census (19 Jun 1921). According to family lore, she married Fred, but no marriage to Fred is found. However I have taken it that the story she lived at Catford is true. Gvien that she appears to be alive in the 1939 Register (without Percy) at Dartford, ie same area as Catford, assume she died thereafter. The option picked seems most likely given the location. Other possibilities might be Annie E EVANS died 1963 Surrey NE and 1960 Bridge, Kent.
