Also if Jennie was born April 1900 John couldn't have been born Sept. 1900, so I would get that Evan Henry birth certificate, making his birth Sept 1901.

Another PM from s.r.:

... "to your question abt school reg record yes date/months are incorrect for the rees children but yrs are correct when born there was 3 rees  children in this reg."

OK, so not reliable then ... maybe the parents weren't sure when the children were born. People weren't so hung up with times and dates as they are today .... 

Jennie being Janet really lends weight to John being Evan ....  Go on s.r. - buy that certificate. 
It's the only way you'll find out.

s.r. has asked for the full details of the 1901 census entry
 
RG13 piece 5058 folio 114 page 23
living 63, Llantwit Road, Neath

Henry EVANS widower age 67 cord winder ( boot maker) born Camarthen
Louisa EVANS widow  daughter in law age age 55  born Camarthen
Sarah EVANS single grandaughter age 17 laundress born Neath
Jack REES great grandson age 7mths born Neath

Perhaps Jack could be Sarah's son

Now that would tie up with John being born in Sept 1900, so what happened to that John/Jack?

[jaywit]

Lets stand back and look at what we have got.

John Henry gave his date of birth as July 1901. ( not on 1901 census with parents)

There is a possible Evan Henry birth correct place and quarter.

1901 census shows Jack age 7 months, with grandmother, SR has school records showing date of birth September 1900 which would fit in with Jack.

So were Jack and John Henry 2 different people?

It would be impossible for John Henry to be born to the same mother as Jenny if he was born in September 1900,  July 1901 would be a good gap after Jenny's birth.

If so are the school records SR has for the wrong one, Jack instead of John Henry?

The only way forward is to get the Evan Henry birth certificate or at least contact Neath RO and give them the correct parent's names and say you only want the cert. if the parents tie up.

Then you will know if you need more research.

Ok email me the FULL details of what you have S R and I will travel to Swansea Records and sort this out for you
Look forward to hearing from you soonest

[jaywit]

Jim I'm sure your offer of help will be welcome to SR.

Not having any Welsh blood ( unless someone wandered in the 18th century ) I guess you have to be very careful to make sure you are following the correct family.

I've contacted a 'Mod' to try and work out this posting problem...... hopefully it can get fixed soon.

Sorry this has happened people, but thanks for persevering
