In 1927 Arthur Evans passed a large part of his archaeological collection to the Ashmolean Museum. It was either then or upon his death in 1941 that a selection of John Evans's papers were ... passed to the Museum, largely the correspondence divided by author, as this was the section that most related to the objects. Some numismatic papers were also passed to the Ashmolean Museum's Heberden Coin Room, where they remain today.

On searching the Wolverhampton registrar's records a marriage certificate of 1900 between Arthur Evans and Annie Birch was discovered. That was the year in which the Dunlop Company produced its first pneumatic tyres in Birmingham, a company which was to figure highly in the lives of all the Evans family in later years.

Life became a little more settled when Arthur married Gladys Spacey on 21st December 1935 at St Mary's Church, Pype Hayes. Gladys moved from her home nearby at 370 Holly Lane and Arthur from his home in Pype Hayes Road to set up a new home very near by at 6 Alman Road. Arthur now spent much more time with Gladys and her family riding motorcycles then driving cars visiting relatives around the country.

Arthur and Annie would have made the short journey from their homes to worship in this cathedral like church and finally came to marry there. The family would continue to worship there into the twentieth century and it is perhaps here that Arthur junior has his earliest memories of a venomous preacher delivering his hell fire and damnation sermons which would scare him for many years to come.
