Leonard Allen HERBERT was a stock filler in a small arms factory. He married Eva HAWKES in 1918. They had a son Allen George HERBERT who was born in 1921. Eva had two sisters, Christine and Ida who went to Australia. She joined them and died in 1924. I'm searching for their parents and any siblings they may have. Is there anyone else researching this family? Jan Sheard. Australia

Hello Jan Not researching the family, but they are fairly easy to find, I think. In 1911, they are at RG14; Piece: 7434; Schedule Number: 79. There are a large number of other siblings. Eva's marriage certificate: Marriages Dec 1918 Hawkes Eva Herbert Edmonton 3a 1074 Herbert Leonard A Hawkes Edmonton 3a 1074 will confirm her father's name and occupation. If this is the right family, then Eva's mother is likely to have been Ellen DEAN, who married George HAWKES (a gun maker) at St Philip's, Birmingham in April 1890. The marriage register entry is available on Ancestry. Let me know if you need a copy.
