Hi , I don't have a tree started, I am just starting to connect the dots . Here is a link to the newfoundland site I use.
http://ngb.chebucto.org . you can see your mom and my dad listed in the census for 1945. Marion Evans,( my grandmother) Shirley ( your mom) Frederick (my dad) Andrew Caldwell ( Marion's dad from Ireland) Beatrice Hayward ( Marion's sister) Gerald Hayward ( Beatrice husband) and Gerald their son living on Forest Road in St.John`s. Frederick Evans - Marion`s husband was not listed - Shirley`s dad must have left them by then. Shirley and my dad had another sister Lynn (Denysek) not the same father. Marion moved to Toronto in the 60`s with Lynn.
I don`t know where Frederick Evans (Marion`s husband) went when he left his family. Andrew Caldwell was born march 1872 in Ireland I think and sailed to newfoundland in 1896 and married Carrie . They had 3 kids, Marion, Jean and Beatrice.
My dad Frederick John Hunter Evans married Vera Butler and had 7 kids- I am number 2 of 7 from st.john`s.
do you any idea where Frederick Evans -went when he left newfoundland
