John,

That's a great photo; exactly the kind of thing I'd like to get hold of for Herbert. To that end I have started another strand on the forum looking for Evans of Ferndale.

You are up against it due to a popular surname.
If you have not joined "ancestry.com", you get a weeks free use I think, try going through the census records.
