Do you know ‘Paul’? He also lists a Shirley Evans born Poole in 1935. If you haven’t previously been in contact, send him a message asking how he is related
http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/messages/10544845/discover?rk=450323978
He also lists your grandmother, Elizabeth

Have you checked to see if your aunts or grandparents are listed on anyone else's tree? Use the Search All members trees function, top right under ‘Search’.

1939 register for our benefit - sometimes going backwards helps us to go forward

Evans Household (3 People) "Wainscote" Upper Road , Poole M.B., Dorset, England

First name(s) Last name(s) DOB Sex Occupation Marital status Schedule Schedule Sub Number
Shirley M R Baller (Evans) 28 Jul 1935 Female Under School Age Single 161 3
Sidney I Evans 16 Oct 1912 Male Fordson Tractor Driver Married 161 1
Elizabeth M E Evans 27 Jul 1911 Female Unpaid Domestic Duties Married 161 2

One closed record listed after your mother, presumably a younger sister.

Sidney could have the initial J instead of the transcribed I

Births Dec 1912 (>99%)
Evans Sidney J Conway Poole 5a 448

Are you in contact with your aunts? Is it worth us trying to trace them?
Barbara J E was born in 1938
Valerie M in 1940

Its probably best if you can tell us what research you have done yourself rather than us trying to repeat it and bring the lines 'forward'.
