Note on Husband: John JONES(?) - shared note
It is not clear if he actually existed, since the only reference to his name appears on Evelyn May Deakin's marriage certificate.
He is named on Eve's personal copy of the marriage certificate as "John Jones Deakin" but "Deakin" was clearly inserted later in order to "legitimise" Eve, who was mortified by her secret.
On the original marriage register, he is plain "John Jones: Farmer" Therefore, it is possible Eve's father was indeed John Jones, and a farmer; it is quite likely, however, she invented him for the purposes of her marriage certificate.
Note on Wife: Agnes Ann DEAKIN (1) - shared note
Agnes' marriage to Joe Owen was witnessed by Edward Roberts, Cissie Coles [Her cousin Jane Elizabeth Coles], and Edwin Tomkinson.
By 1891 she is living with her mother and step father at Vine Buildings, Ruyton IX Towns, and her two new half siblings.[RG12/2114/64].
In 1903 - 1906 Agnes, her husband, Joe Owen, and their children, Iris and Charles, were living at 52 York Street, Oswestry.
The Register of Electors for Oswestry 1918 (North Ward) gives Agnes Owen's address as 33 Ferrers Road.
1922, and Spring 1923 her address is 5 Gitten Street.
1929 sees Charles Deakin Owen, and Iris Lily Owen at the same address, but no Agnes.
William Edward Owen and Eliza Maude Owen are living at 10 Gitten Street in 1929.
Could he be Joseph's brother, and, possibly, his wife?
Note on Wife: Agnes Ann DEAKIN (2)
Una did not know of Agnes's daughter,Evelyn's, existence - and was fairly sure that her Uncle Charlie would not have known either. "He would have been mortified"
She also stated that her Grandmother Agnes was "very respectable" - so was therefore rather surprised at the fact of Grandma Evelyn's existence.
However, she rather thought that her mother Iris may have known if anyone - as Aunt Polly may have known also.
It would seem that Grandma Evelyn's childhood, and by whom she was brought up will have to remain a mystery for ever.
The final clue as to that may lie in the 1911 census, of course ....!16
Note on Wife: Agnes Ann DEAKIN (3)
We do not at present (2007) know who fathered Agnes's first child, Evelyn May Deakin.
I don't recall my grandmother Evelyn ever really mentioning her parents. All she said was that she was born and brought up in Pentre, Shropshire.
In her later years, while she was still living at 4 Victoria Street, Shrewsbury, Eve gave me a whole pile of old family photographs. By this time I had learned from my mother, of Eve's illegitamacy. She showed me a small double pocket wallet containing two Victorian cartes de visite.
In one pocket there was a studio photo of two little girls and she told me that one was her as a small child. She said that the other child was "a friend" and didn't elaborate further.
In the other pocket was a studio portrait of a young woman. When I asked who she was, Grandma calmmed up rather and said: "I don't remember who SHE was".
On the back of the photo was written in pencil the name "Deakin". and I assumed that this may have been her mother, but didn't feel able to ask her, as I imagine she would have been mortified if she had known that I knew of her birth.
Many years later, after much convoluted detective work, I traced the legitimate grandaughter of Agnes Deakin, who was amazed to discover that her grandmother had had a child prior to her marriage to Joseph Owen.
Amongst her photo collection were several 1890s carte de visite portraits of her grandmother Agnes - including a copy of the photo my grandmother Eve had given me.
It was thrilling to have my suspicions confirmed and to discover new half - family - but it would seem that the identity of Evelyn May Deakin's father and the circumstances of her conception and birth - along with the identity of the folks that brought her up - and why - will remain a mystery.
