Dr David Evans help
« on: Wednesday 19 January 11 14:51 GMT (UK) »
Hi
I have a scrap album for Dr David Evans daughter Annie. I know that by March 1915 he was at 21 Linden Road, Bourneville, Birmingham ( working for Cadbury's ??). I only know this info as there was a postcard to Anniw which was re-directed to that address. The only other address is through a ships list dated 28th August 1932 for Annie. The address she is to go to is 19 Hagley Road, Edgbaston, Birmingham. Her father sent a marconigram saying he would collect her by car when she arrives in dock.

Really struggling to get info on this family. Annie's scrap books are amazing. They tell of 2 world cruises ( 1st class), the first in 1927 , the second in 1932. Trying to reunite these to the correct family.

Also is there any way to find out about Dr David Evans career ??


many thanks

It looks like her brother Dr. David John Evans qualified as a Doctor in 1913 and the address 21 Linden Road, Bourneville, Birmingham is given in the 1915 Medical Directory for him.

David John Evan's biography here.

It appears this man was born in Tientsin, China and returned there to work in the 1920s.  The biography says he married 1919 and had no children.

His father was David Price Evans, and there appears to have possibly been two sisters at least: familysearch shows baptisms of Annie, 1894, and Mary Alice, 1893, to David Price Evans and Sarah Ann Hamilton Wilson, and the marriage in 1889 of David Price Evans to Sarah Ann Hambleton "Terry" (widowed?)

David Evans Sr is listed in the biography as a missionary and there are some hits on google books for a David Evans living in Tientsin, of the British and Foreign Bible Society.

http://www.rootschat.com/links/0bdz/  - a mention of him in relation to the Boxer Rebellion, possibly?
