Looking for info on Mark Evans...Wallsend, NSW
« on: Thursday 23 August 12 10:56 BST (UK) »
Hi
 I'm looking for any information on my great uncle Mark Evans, he was born in Toddington, Bedfordshire, England, in December 1907....i believe he emigrated to Australia in 1922 aged 15 yrs.....I'm not sure where he went upon his arrival in Australia, but i think he settled in the Wallsend/ Newcastle area of NSW..... He married Margaret Brooks in 1933.....and he later went on to serve in the Australian army in WWII.....I do have one very small photo of him, but i'd love to find out more....

Searching the NSW BDM for 1933 - 1981 (latest available there) we find

14346/1963  EVANS  THOMAS MARK  father THOMAS  mother  LOUISA  EAST MAITLAND     
31537/1966  EVANS  MARK PATRICK  father FRANCIS TASMAN mother MARGARET MARY  LIVERPOOL     
33609/1961  EVANS  MARK WILLIAM  father JAMES FREDERICK mother SHIRLEY IRENE  ROCKDALE     
2510/1950  EVANS  ALEXANDER MARK  DAVID  LOUISA  ISLINGTON       
80819/1974  EVANS  MARK  GEORGE WILLIAM  ANN 

Of these, Islington is an inner Newcastle suburb and East Maitland while not in Newcastle is in the Hunter Valley region about 40 miles from Newcastle.  (Rockdale is a Sydney suburb and Liverpool is an outer Sydney area.)

Do you know if he had another forename?  Or his parents' names?

Also, for more recent deaths, you could look at the Ryerson Index.  http://www.ryersonindex.org/

And if he served in the Australian Army in WW2 you should be able to get his record.
See the Australian Resources board for details.

Mark & Margaret Ann EVANS, living at 79 Brooks St, Wallsend in 1980. Which was the same street listed on his WW2 records but they were living at number 37 then.

Following on from Merlin.....

In 1937 they are both listed at 37 Brook St, Wallsend (in the Hunter district).
They are still there in 1943, 1949, 1954, & 1958.

By 1963 they are at 79 Brook St, Wallsend, and with them is probably a son. He may still be living so I can’t post his name on the thread.

By 1968 Mark and Margaret are still there.

PM coming.
