Do you actually have the 1931 birth cert?

If so, is there a second forename given for the child's mother?

If we have to wait another 11 years for feedback............I doubt I'll be around ;-) ;-) ;-)

There's so little to go on.

If your guess at Evelyn's YOB is correct (c1905-15), Sue, then the 1913 birth could perhaps be the right one.

You said, "Evelyn's middle name I believe was Mary, Jean was sometimes referred to as Jean Mary."
So her middle name wasn't definitely Mary.


"May" is pretty close.
My mother was born Mary, but always known as May.

You also said, "As far as I know, Evelyn did marry after Jean's birth."
So that's not definite either.

You say Jean was sometimes referred to as Jean Mary.
By whom? When?
If she was adopted by the Boxalls, then there's no reason why anything they might have called her had anything to do with her mother.

There is no Evelyn M Lang birth registered at the end of 1911 or start of 1912 - but if the DOB is one year out in 1939, it would fit that 1913 birth.

We need Sue to come back with exact info from the birth cert.

The middle name beginning with M may be a complete red herring.

Not sure why people have been focusing on Evelyn Lang with a second forename. Unless the OP comes back to say that she gave a second forename when she registered the birth, there’s no reason to think she had one.

possibly her but >?

matches given birth date of Eveliyn M Vidovic.

Let's hope the birth cert gives some useful information!

If it just says her name was Evelyn Lang, it's not much help.
That could mean that either she didn't give her middle name, or that she's a different person.

Lang tree on ancestry has the forenamed Eva/Evalyn. Lang death as 2004.also has same named parents.

The tree on Ancestry obviously has the info as found, but that’s no proof that it’s the woman who gave birth to Jean in 1931.

The only hope is that there is a second forename for the mother on the birth cert, or that the address and her occupation are matched by the info about the woman who married Cook in Bristol, if Sue gets that cert.

We now wait for Sue to return..........................
