I did think we could have a look. It says if you have information to let the hospital know.
Nothing to lose by having a search.
i agree jan...only looked quickly for now but no luck so far with the 1911...will keep looking and maybe you could as well and also check the nursing register

I've just checked the nursng register and there are several entries for Evelyn Margaret Hughes but not any which have training at the Children's Hospital.
This is the first that I found so unlikely

Evelyn Margaret Hughes born 11 Dec 1889 Handsworth, reg . Mar 1890 West Brom. Parents Thomas Hughes and Christina Reading. Had at least one sister, Dorothy, who was a school teacher.

Married William Alfred Bryant, reg. Sep 1928 Bham S.

Possible had one son, Michael Onslow Bryant.

In 1939 living at 154a Church Road, Hove with husband and sister in law.

Died 26 Apr 1890 at QE hospital Bham, address given as 276 Penns Lane, Sutton Coldfield.

Michael married but not sure if he had any children, died 2012.

looks like evelyns husband william alfred bryant served in ww1 and his records are on ancestry...next step is looking for any trees on ancestry

The Penns Lane address appears to have been her sister's house. She is listed there in 1939 and it's the address given on her husband's (Clement Brookfield) probate.

No children for them.

evelyn was born 11th dec 1889 but on the 39 register it gives her dob as 28th march 1900 which is actually when her birth was registered...just an observation

edit..why is evelyn on 2 39 registers at 2 different addresses...this one gives her correct dob again hubby william but he has a different occuption...i am confused

The second one is not our Evelyn.
Gerald's birth is reg in 1924 with mmn Hinks.
There is a marriage in 1924 in West Brom of William Bryant to Evelyn Hinks.
So we can ignore that one
