Re: World War 1

Follow up to my previous posting,

I just noticed that on the baptism record May 10th 1888 Elizabeth Evans ( mother ) is listed as residing at 93 Higher Antley Street her occupation is recorded as servant . On the 1891 census she has moved to her parents house at 4 Hood street where she and young George , whose birth year listed incorrectly as 1889 , shared a very crowded home with her siblings and parents family name Grindley . , see 1891 census . I am still at a loss as to why George does no appear on any of your records .

I live in Eastern Canada and I find it interesting that Geoge's medals ended up on this side of the Atlantic , I can only assume that a relative emigrated here at some pont . I always find it sad that hard earned medals end up in a flea market . The memory of George Evans deserves better , which is why I anpm trying to find out more about an Accrington man who served his country .

Regards,

Canuck
