It just goes to show, we should never take anything for granted in this game

I was just having a look at my notes and realised that my G.Grandparents (Ezra and Anne Elizabeth Evans) youngest child wasn't Amy, as I first thought but Percy
Obviously, when I first started on my Family Tree, I didn't realise how important it was to actually look at the census image, and not to take the info from the first page as gospel.

No wonder I couldn't find a marriage for her Here's the link Amy Evans b1900

Can anyone find more info (Birth, Marriage etc) just to see if what I have found is correct please?

Possible?

Is it Amy's marriage you want.

West Midlands Marriage 1912.
EVANS Amy, COX George, West Bromwich, St Philip, Sandwell Register Office. 30/3/25.

West Midlands Marriage 1932.
EVANS Amy, TRUBY George H, West Bromwich, St Andrew, Sandwell Register Office. 26/6/266.

No Jimmy, there is no Amy - it should be Percy....I'll change it now on BCC

This is the one I came up with...

Birth 1900
DARBY Nellie I Harborne Sandwell Register Office HAR/117/247

not certain but may have found more info...hang on

You didn't notice that did you?

Here's Nellie Darby with parents, I think

1901: 308 Bearwood Road, Smethwick, Staffs
Daniel Darby 27 Head Pattern Maker and Woodworker Oldbury
Ellen Darby 28 Wife Birmingham, Warwickshire
Nellie P? Darby 8 months Dau Harborne, Staffs

On the actual image it could possibly be Nellie I Darby

I think it's more likely to be that one, dont you pete? The other 2 have middle names.

I'll add the marriage to look ups to see if Percy's father is Ezra

as you say san percy had no middle name in either census nor did his brother and sister so that looks most likely

Just realised, I can't add the marriage to look ups cos it's a Register Office marriage - Doh!!

It does look most likely, I agree Pete

well if you send for it tell them you only want it if father ezra then you bound to get the right one as not many percy have a father ezra

Thanks for that Pete
