Could someone on list do a 1931 census lookup for Evelina also known aa Maud Harrod living Lincombe Rd, Torquay, Devon. I have also found a marriage for Evelyn M Harrod marrying a Robert Hockley 1945 1st quarter Surrey SW and Evelyn M Harrod marrying a James William Deaves Oct. 1942 N. Walsham, Norfolk . She my Aunt and I do not know if she ever married. I know she died 1951 and I have her place of burial as Old Victoria Cemetery ,Torquay Devon. She was born Layer Marney, Essex 1876.. She has been a bit of a mystery. Anyone who may be able to help I would be very grateful for your help .

The 1931 census was not preserved.
-
If as you say you know where she is buried and perhaps a date of death my first thoughts would be to contact the place of buriel, they usually are very helpful

Torquay if that is where your aunt died comes under Newton Abbot registration district
1951, no Evalina or Evelyn death registered under Hockley or Deaves

Have you checked the 1939 register?
-
Yes I agree with Evelyn Harrod June qtr, was looking for Maud initially , silly me
LM

She is Maude HARRAD in 1881 census ref 791 25 22

Nothing like confusing us is there.?
Unless she changed back to her née name it doesn't look as if she married
LM
-
There's no suggestion of a change of surname on the 1939 register - she's a bit of a mess as she appears to be listed as Evelyn M with a wildly incorrect dob and Evelyn H with a more likely dob. The image looks like H and the dob is wrong and corrected in pencil
-
I was able to find the 1939 record. Thanks to all who have helped me out much appreciated.

There are 2 Deaves/Harrod births between 1944-47. Evelyn in 1944 would have been 68, bit late for having children.
There are 3 Hockley/Harrod births between 1947-51, again Evelyn would have been a little old to be having kids.

Evelyn Maud Harrod has been a real challenge from her death cert she was living at Fawsley Hotel,.Sundury Hill,Torquay on the 10th of May 1951 The person who filled out the death certificate did not have great penmanship so I am not able to make out all the handwriting. I think she maybe have had heart issues . It says she was a spinster so she was unmarried.
It would be nice to find out more of her life but I guess that is wishful thinking.as I mentioned previously I do not think my grandmother kept in touch with Evelyn once she moved to Canada. My grandmother died when I was 5 years old so never really knew her.. Any help from folks on list will be appreciated.

I have all the early census records for the Harrod family. How does one find out the history for the Fawsley Hotel I have not found anything for this hotel back in 1951 or earlier.. Is there a library near by which might know something. I live in Canada so all my searching must be done from across the pond.

It's so disappointing when you spend time researching a post only for all the information posted has been known since 2019. Lessons learnt as they say, check posters previous posts.
