I have an address 24 Mendip Houses Bethnal Green, Tower Hamlet 1949 .I dont have access to the full household .James L Evett .Would like to know who else lived in the house.Any help would be appreciated .Was he there in 1946 onwards with someone called Alice ? or any other info would help thank you .
-
The transcription is mis-aligned to the image.
He is at 24 Kirkwall Place, Bethnal Green Constituency, London E2 with Alice M Evett
-
They are still there 1950, Alice is on her own in 1951.
-
Hi you are brilliant thank you so much ,yes James left and married another lady in 1951,but it has been said that Alice may have been married to James but ive been unable to find a marriage certificate for them as i do not know her surname to double check .There was word of a daughter to James and Alice but we have no other details about this girl .Do you have the knowledge to help with any further information .
James was born 12/12/1924 sadly not with us anymore .
Parents Thomas Evett and Kathleen Tinham .Saffron Walden Essex.
-
There is a birth registration in 1949 (freebmd) that could fit your information but as they are hopefully still alive I will not post the information. I can't see a marriage for the suggested surnames of parents
-
Yes we are hoping the daughter is still alive .I know it says Alice M Evett but there are no documents to confirm that she was married to James .
-
If she is still alive you should remove her name from all of your posts. Rootschat does not allow us to mention living people
-
Is that better or do i need to take out the wording " daughter" and apart from that is there any other avenues i could use to further my research .
-
Daughter is fine ;D What exactly are you tring to find out.
-
Im trying to find out who Alice is ,and the daughter too,yes ive seen the free bmd .I cant confirm if this it the right one until i know exactly who her parents are .
-
The only way that you can confirm whether she is who you think is to order the birth certificate, that should give her parents names.
-
yes in agreement there ,its a bit of a needle in a haystack ,but that is the only way to start ruling out any of the names that fit by year .

Marriage in Norwich, March 1936
Bennett, William F. - spouse Skipper
Skipper, Alice M. - spouse Bennett
Birth of a son registered in Norwich, Sep 1936
Free index to 1939 Register has, in Norwich
Alice M (Matilda) Evett (Bennett), born 1916
with Frederick W Bennett, born 1914
It means that Alice M Bennett later became Alice M Evett
Also looks like the son born 36 is listed.
The Evett birth alluded to in 1949 has the mother's maiden name as Skipper
I would examine the 39 Register entry, see if it says when they were informed of the change from Bennett to Evett?
-
Was Alice born in London, and illegitimate?
June 1916 St Marylebone 1a 931
Skipper, Alice Matilda
mother's maiden surname —
-
It means that Alice M Bennett later became Alice M Evett
Can't see a marriage for Alice Bennett to make her an Evett.
-
There's an Alice M Evett at 39 Garvary Road, Custom House, in 1964 and 1965.
No idea if it's the same lady, but there aren't many Alice Evetts.
Other names at same address are a female Bennett (64) and a male Brown (64, 65)

Death in January 1991, Newham (vol 15 page 1551)
Alice Matilda Bennett
born May 1916
No actual day given?
Could that be her?
-
Hi ,we dont know anything about Alice apart from she was in 24 Kirkwall Place Bethnal Green with James Leslie Evett 1949 .James and Alice had a daughter .There was a family story of James adopting a boy,which i assume would have been Alice's son from a previous relationship .I did find the Alice M Skipper you spoke of (unmarried mother Skipper) .That one does fit and now that you have said there was a son to Alice in 1936 with W.F Bennett that does help and a bit more info for me to research,i cant find any marriage for Alice and James Evett either .James wasn't at that address with Alice in 1950 because he married another woman in 1951.
