Florence Eveline Jenner (aka Eva Baglin) was the 1st child of Thomas & Lillian Jenner. Like her mother Eva was an active member of the Salvation Army. She was born at home at Stapleton Road, Bristol, on 5th December 1901. When she was young the family moved to Wales and she spent most of her youth in Abertillary and Crumlin. She was a Tom-Boy and always getting into trouble at school and at home. They moved back to Bristol when she was in her early teens, and lived in Ashley Road, later moving to Thicket Avenue; then Ridgeway Road, and finally to the 'Haven' (between Pool Road and Middle Road). Behind the house was a large Orchard. All the children were married from the Haven.
Unfortunately, because her mother often suffered illness and was frequently in and out of hospitals Florence was the oldest child Florence had to stay at home, from school, and when she was older give up work to look after her younger brothers and sisters (and any other children her mother had taken in to look after).
Eva had a number of boy friends, but the most notable were:
Fred Wymark, who she went out with for six years (and was engaged to for two). He worked with his parents in an Ironmongers shop in Milk Street, Bristol. Her parents wanted him to get an independent job, so as give their daughter more security. However, as he wouldn't, or couldn't, get a job of his own she broke off the engagement, but they did stay good friends. After they split up Eva had a nervous breakdown and spent six months with her Uncle Arthur in Plymouth. However, her uncle twin daughters, Phyllis and Evelyn (both millionaires) treated her as a glorified servant.
It was while she was at Plymouth that she met Les, who was over 6ft tall. She went out with him for some time. Until, one day, she overheard someone say "There goes the long and short of it" - That was the end of their relationship, in spite of the fact that she loved him.
Shortly afterwards (August 1931) she met Ted (Edward William Burgess Baglin) and on the 26th December 1931, just a few months later they married, and on Thursday 27th April 1933, at 7:30pm gave birth to her daughter, Grace Enid Baglin.
