I'm not entirely sure that his wife's full name was Evangeline. She was listed as such in the 1891 census but nowhere else, to my knowledge. She did have a niece, Evangeline Fanny Bridle, who married the hymnwriter P. S. Pugh.  Both Eva and Evangeline married in 1909 in Hackney, so there may be a confusion between the two.  Indeed, the younger Evangeline was listed as 'Eva' in the same household in 1891. Would be interested in any definitive information.

"Eva Bridle, daughter of Thomas Parsons Bridle and his second wife, Sarah Symons, a Teacher of elementary school, poetically calling herself Evangeline in 1891. . . "

It seems she gave herself that name.

Interesting link, Marty, thanks. However, it is an assumption that she "poetically call[ed] herself Evangeline" in the 1891 census. On another page on that site, it says "In 1891, at Pinhoe Road, Heavitree, Eva has upgraded herself to Evangeline". I think it is more likely that it was the census enumerator who confused Eva and her niece, Evangeline, and recorded them as they appear in the household entry. I don't know for certain, of course, but in every other record I have seen of them both, they are Eva and Evangeline respectively and not the other way round as in 1891.
