Didn’t you used to draw the dole Macca?

I like the music one.

I agree.

Just for fun I spent 10 mins creating a profile of Treyer Evans on Ancestry. Interesting fella.

The quoted death date mentioned earlier is wrong - he actually died in 1981 (perhaps 1958 was when he retired?). There is also some confusion in the records on his actual birth year.

He went to the States in 1914 - actually on the Lusitania - a year before it was sunk.

Anyway here is a glimpse of his profile.

@Roy, let me know if you want me to send you any of the underlying sources (census form, ship record etc).

Skips the country a couple of months after the start of WW1. So he obviously wasn't daft.

I don't know what size these are but they look like illustrations for a book to me too. The fact that there is a sequence of paintings depicting events in the subject's life suggest it might be a picture biography. Evans seems to have had a career as a book illustrator.

Thanks Edward, much appreciated, I’ll have a look when I get chance.

Thanks for that Barry.

I've contacted an auction house about these & I'll update this thread with the outcome.

Sounds like they might fetch enough to run to a decent watch
