Member Since: February 2011 Posts: 76 Send Message	These ladies were born of William Simon Evans B 1845 Shrewsbury and his wife Eliza Evans (nee Steenton) B 1846 Shrewsbury who Married in 1868 in Shrewsbury. Daughter Eliza was born in 1878 +/- 1 in Shrewsbury Ada Florence Evans born in Bicton, Shrewsbury 1887 +/- 1 I cannot find a marriage for Eliza (1878) I have found a Marriage for Ada (1887) to a Reginald W Davies in 1924. This would make Ada 37 years of age. I am unable to trace any information on Reginald so do not know how old he was in 1924. A son was born in Shrewsbury in 1925 named Reginald W Davies with the Mothers Maiden Name of Evans. Is this the same family. Can someone please confirm or refute this information and also confirm that Eliza (1878) remained a spinster. Thankyou kindly for your assistance.
