Looks like I found this topic rather late. I'm Emily and Reginald's great granddaughter, and I've been working on some family history with my Grandad, their son, so we can confirm those details. He says his parents did meet during the war and got married in France.

In the family bible it says:

"Reginald Clarence Evens married Florence Emily Skelsey 5th April 1919"

It also has Emily's death as May 1948.

Then there follows the details of their 4 children, which you have already found I asked my Grandad about it saying "Florence" - apparently "Flo" was his dad's nickname for his mum (presumably because of how they met in the war). He thinks that his grandad (Philip) started writing the details before being corrected that her name wasn't really Florence.

We also found a certificate recognising Emily's "gallant and distinguished services in the Field", dated 1st July 1919.

Hope that helps confirm some details. I'd be interested in whether you have any further details about Emily's family, as my grandad didn't know a lot about them.

I apologise if this is the wrong place to post this question but I'm just trying to find my way around here.

I came across this board by Googling for my great grandmother's name, and found a topic which is about her and my great granddad. Naturally, I have some information which is directly relevant to that topic and can confirm some of the conjecture there.

I know that some forums have rules against bumping old topics, and this one was started in 2010 and last posted to in 2012. Would it still be appropriate to post there? Or is there a preferred method of contributing this information?
