sorry to ask again but i am stuck with my great great grandparents.
here is all i have on the family
WALTER EVANS bapt jan 22nd 1840 at st martins in worcester.
in 1841 walter age1
celina his sister age 7
thomas father both parents aged 30
mary mother. are in eckington st andrews pershore chapelry of besford.
this is where it gets complicated,
1851 census
thomas evans is a widower a visitor a glover born st martin worcs at house of elizabeth hawker[hawks] age un readable
looks like single laundress head of household with her 4 children.
no walter or celina.
1861 thomas is now head of household a porter aged 50 living with elizabeth hawks and now 5 children the youngest angelina being only 2.
1861 walter is living in birmingham at house of mary sheppard in william street. where was he in 1851 or celina?
