James died in West Bromwich the 19th of November 1880 within 2 weeks of falling ill. Hannah gave birth to my grandmother on 3rd of January 1881. James worked for the Horsely Works as a mechanical draughtsman and in the 1881 census Hannah was a small shop keeper and Ernest then 23 was the head of the house and his occupation was listed as Bridge draughtsman worker. No mention of Arthur or Archibald so they may have been sent to relatives to live or they were away at school or working. Florence married a Sedgley and died in 1966 at Brosley Shropshire. Her son was William Henry and he and his sister-also Florence were sent to Canada by the Birmmingham Home in 1915. Does anyone have information about this Evans family? I will be most willing to share what little knowledge about them that I have. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
