Hi Brian
Not sure if I can help but withe the help of others I am back to Joshua Evamy (Coastguard born in Ringwood in 1771)he was married twice, his second wife was Hannah Lawrence who was born in Swanage. This branch of the Evamy's then moved to the north of England (producing 6 children)where the rest of my research comes from. I have a brother Richard who lives in Hampshire, but our father was also born in the north of England.
It is such an unusual name that we must be connected sometime back.
Do you belong to Friends/Genes Reunited - if you do I am happy for you to view my family tree.
Please let me know if I can be of any help.
My direct e mail address is

Maureen
