Evelyn Maude Penrose 1886 - 1953
June 2019: I have the WRONG Evelyn Maud Penrose here: the one that married Alfred Slatter in 1903 was Eveline M Penrose born 6/4/1886 Stoke Damerel Jun 1886 & NOT Evelyn M Penrose 1882
1886 . Eveline M Penrose born 6/4/1886 Stoke Damerel Jun 1886 to Charles Penrose and Fanny Michell Penrose - these two were First Cousins!!
1891C. Chapel Street, Stoke Damerel, Devonport
| Charles | Penrose | Head | Married | Male | 48 | 1843 | Iron Moulder | Devon, England |
| Fanny | Penrose | Wife | Married | Female | 45 | 1846 | - | Devon, England |
| Charles | Penrose | Son | Single | Male | 18 | 1873 | Marble Mason Apprentice | Devon, England |
| Fred | Penrose | Son | - | Male | 10 | 1881 | Scholar | Devon, England |
| Fanny | Penrose | Daughter | Single | Female | 20 | 1871 | Milliner | Devon, England |
| Eveline M | Penrose | Daughter | - | Female | 5 | 1886 | Scholar | Devon, England |
| Charles | Popham | Boarder | Single | Male | 39 | 1852 | Shipwright | Devon, England |

| Evaline | Penrose | Daughter | Single | Female | 14 | 1887 | Tailoress Apprentice | Devonport, Devon, England |
So, the following family history in italics, her life from 1882! to1903 is incorrect
1882. Evelyn Maude Penrose was born Redruth Sep 1882 to John Farren Penrose and Elizabeth J Varden
Family myth that she was born to the famous Sir Charles Vinicombe Penrose 1759-1850 !!. Apparently Jeannette - Mike's sister - has a photo of the gravestone for Alfred Dore Slatter 1912 killed 1933 which states that his grandparents were a Charles and Fanny Slatter : this seemed ODD!!Now know she meant Charles & Fanny Penrose
1891C. Evelyn M Penrose, 8, was living wih her parents, an elder sister & a much elder step brother at Parkhenver, Redruth

And back to the truth!
