Familysearch has a death for her on 14 August 1913, Newton Abbot, Devon.
Beneficiary's of her Will are her Mother Maud Mary BEARNE and her Step-father Cuthbert Symons BEARNE.
Evelyn has an older sister Gwendoline Maud Stevenson, born June Q 1887, Edmonton, Middlesex who married Arnold C BERETTA in 1912 in Islington, London. A son Arnold S Beretta was born on 15 April 1915 Pancras. He married in 1950 to Catherine G Cairns [d 2004] and died in 1986, Market Harborough, Leicestershire.
Would like to know where Evelyn Cecilia Stevenson is buried and if there was a death notice?

New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Trying to identify this chap
« on: Thursday 03 July 25 04:58 BST (UK) »
In reference to the 3rd photo added by Lucy2
I haven't done much research on this family, however from my Taylor family notes;
'J Taylor' is James Taylor who died in 1932 age 47 years.
In his obituary published in the Evening Post on 20 August 1932, it states that he assisted his brother-in-law “Dorrie” Leslie with massage work as part of the All Blacks training prior to the third test against the Springboks [at Athletic Park on 17 September 1921. The score was 0-0. Athletic Park resembled a lake due to heavy rain].
James officially accompanied the All Blacks to Australia in 1929.

Thanks ShaunJ.
Interesting re year of birth as the WW1 Hospital Admission and Discharge records (National Archives MH106/210), admission date 18 August 1915 to the 149th Field Ambulance gives his year of birth as 1879 - good to now have correct info.
Thanks
