Evacuees

[avm228]

The evacuation of women and children from London started at the beginning of September 1939, but many returned home to London by early 1940 when the expected bombing raids had not (yet) happened.  There were then later rounds of evacuation in 1940 (and later) as the war intensified - which may be when the Stevenson boys went to Oxfordshire.  See the link for more:

Thank you will have a look

 I have to tell you this, as on Ancestry 1911 census there is a George Horingold from Bethnal Green living in Norfolk  slightly different spelling but could be a friend

If the year was 1939  Raymond would have been too young to be staying with anyone surely, he would have been 3/4.

What  a mystery
I love the profile picture who is it.

He died in 1941 I am not sure what to think now I have ordered the death certificate but I have put Ploughley Oxfordshire will they find him where ever he is?

Betty,

The pretty lady was my great grandmother Minnie.  The kind folks here at RC cleaned the brown mark from between her brows and gave a stylish twist to her painted photo c 1897. Sadly she died young.

Salute,
Janelle

Hi Janelle
,Question , I am getting hooked on this genealogy . I am with Ancestry but only just found out about the 1939 register , so have signed up for a two week free trial with find my past but it doesn't.
 give you asses to the register, but is it worth having

Did you also see that the Hornigold family you found in Kings Lynn lived, in Bethnal-green for a time?
They had a son George when they lived there and It was his house that Little Raymond was staying in.
Unless I am wrong and it is just coincidence.

What do you think, family friends ?

[Betty19]

I forgot to add she had another two children at home and her husband was away in the Army.

Hey, I got the 1939 register access as extra to my yearly FindMyPast sub, and was delighted to find your friend's guys because I have not found many 1939 records for my own family. My Irish rellies are obviously not there, my Devon grandma emigrated 1914 and my English-born OH does not wish me to research his folks.  

I've looked about a little bit in the family trees for the Webbs and Hornigolds and haven't found a connection. 

I reckon family friends is quite likely theory and is a nice "story" for Eric and Raymond being with the Hornigolds. 

Salute,

Janelle
