Hi Tony – thanks

The Rooms actually suggested Evelyn Julia Penny. I haven’t completely dismissed this possibility – but her marriage entry states she is Pottle.

If she is a Pottle, I think she is the daughter of William and Sarah Jane Pottle.

Someone had suggested she was the daughter of William T Pottle and Patience Susannah Evely, but they are too young to be her parents – I think William T is more likely to be her brother.

However, all the other births/baptisms are there for the other children, so why is Evelyn’s not?

So maybe she is a Penn(e)y and grew up with the Pottles? Who knows and how do I prove it?

The endogamy in this country means the DNA isn’t quite so straight forward.

Very challenging!

Thank you for your reply again, and apologies for the lateness of my reply

Kind regards SEONAID
