I would like to say thanks for the welcome from you all.  Most of the details you have are the same as mine.  I research the family years ago when it wasn't all online.  Visiting libraries and archives. 

I recall Audrey keeping in touch with Australian family and have notes that say Bertha emigrated to Australia in 1921.  Wally her brother was kind enough when he as alive to write up a lot of notes on his family with some details.  Audrey died in 1997 and Wally 1998.  Wally had said that Sidney the eldest son of Bertha used to push him around in his pushchair.  He said Bertha had 15 children.  Audreys mother was Mary Ann AKA Marian and she was blind.  Her grandmother is down as Mary Ann Corke  but Audrey had said she was nicked named Polly but had no idea why.  As for the marriage of Mary Ann/Marian to a Bell maybe this is true as I had a feeling she may have done. 
Audrey and her brother Wally were both petite and I think her mother from her pictures was also.  Both Audrey and her brother had hearing problems.  I will attach some photos which I have.

My tree only goes back as far as Richard Corke B. 1813 and Jane Corke and my Evenden family Thomas Evenden b.1795 to Mary ?

Hi all,
I just found this forum and interested to read regarding the Corkes and Evendens.  I worked years ago on my husbands family tree and his grandmother is Audrey 1914.  Her mother was Mary Ann AKA Marian and her mother was Mary Ann AKA Polly.  Her mother Mary Ann 1888 was blind and was married to Walter Ambrose Hyde.
If you have any questions let me know.  I haven't yet had time to update any information this thread has given yet.
