I'm not sure if this is allowed but I stumbled across an item on ebay for Evangeline Cooksey. It ends 7 April

"NATIONAL REGISTRATION ACT 1915.
IT CERTIFIES THAT EVANGALINE COOKSEY HAS BEEN REGISTERED.
STAMPED ROWLEY REGIS URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL, STAFFORDSHIRE"

I cant vouch for anything about it (and I'm not the seller!).
I thought I'd post here on the off chance she belongs to someone

Indigogirl

Ann E Cooksey is probably using her middle name

I think this is her!

Births Jun 1896
Whorton Evangeline Jones Cannock 6b 549

and then a marriage between Harry Cooksey and Ann(ie) E Whorton

1886
COOKSEY Harry WHORTON Annie E Halesowen, St John the Baptist Dudley Register Office 014/005/345

So is Evangeline the dau of Annie and adopted then by Harry?
or his dau all along
