__________________
In 1911 she and her children are nowhere to be found. Her husband was listed totally on his own in the 20-room vicarage at Prestwood, Great Missenden, Bucks. I get the impression that she and all the staff had recently walked out or been thrown out.
__________________
In 1921 she, Evelyn M Atherton Reynolds, was definitely at Cricklade, Wilts in a household of 14 people. This was the family of Frederick and Anne Bulley and seem like relations of her mother who had been born as mary Louisa Bulley.
I have not searched for her children as it is £4 or so a pop. Leave it until the price comes down.

In 1939 she had two daughters only with her at The Grange, Lower Road, Westbury, Wilts:

Will ordered.
__________________
I wonder how Mavis Yolanda got involved with the public Trustee? Was she a minor?
__________________
In the probate it does not explain what the public trustee was doing. [ Aha, half an explanation. ]
__________________
The will was dated 31st July 1951 and appointed the Public Trustee and her daughter Mavis Yolania Reynolds as Executors. She listed the following family and other relations:
1, Her dear daughter Mavis Yolanda Reynolds,
2. Her father Henry Atherton Adams who d. 24 Sep 1897,
3. Her daughter Mrs Freda Oaks [ sic ],
4. Her son,
5. Her daughter Amyas Barbara,
6. Her daughter Jessie Marion,
7, Her husband.
and she referred to many family trusts including one made by her father and it may be because of these that she had got the Public Trustee involved.
