Hello Ann, have you used the Search Trees facility on the menu to see if anyone else is researching him? |

If he didn't marry Emily until 1911 then he would have been getting on for 50 and possibly married before. I'd recommend (if you haven't already got it) buying that marriage certificate to see what it gives as his marital status. |

There was a Jane Evans (mother Sarah) baptised on the same day and in the same church: |

Evans is too common a name to trace, but there is nothing obvious on the census records for Samuel, his sister or mother. I wonder if Sarah married and they are hiding on the census under her married name - that happened with my grandmother, she was recorded on census records under her step-father's name. |

Thank you so much for your responses. I have not bought copies as I was waiting for the results of a search of family papers. I will do so now as I have heard nothing. |
