John

If you return at any time, please tell us ALL you know about Eveline(a).

Year and place of birth are vital - and how you link to her would be useful

Look for marriage record on freebmd

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

If she was Martin......how could her parents be named Kent?

When was this woman born?

Hi All
Have been trying to trace Evelina(e) Martin for sometime and have recently met a third cousin who remembers Evelina and her husband emigrating to Australia in the 1930's. She could not remember her married name which makes this quest that much harder. She also believes that their grandsons came to England looking for relatives in the 1960's and found her parents, Muriel and Ronald Kent. The only fact that I am certain of is that they came from the Sydney area.
I'm afraid the facts are scares but if this jogs any memories, then please get in touch.

Regards
John Martin :-S
