Wax yar ka hor intaanay u dhoofin koonfurta markii labaad, Evans waxaa lagu dhawaaqay in uu u malaynayo in uu guursaday Hilda Russell, oo ah haweeney reer New Zealand ah. Hilda waxay ahayd gabadhii T.G. Russell, oo ahaa qareen caan ah oo maxalli ah, iyo gabadhii adeerkeed ee G.W. Russell, oo ka mid ahaa Xildhibaanada Baarlamaanka ee aagga Christchurch. Evans wuxuu dib ugu soo laabtay Christchurch 1dii Abriil 1904, lammaanahana waxay is guursadeen 13kii Abriil. Waxay dib ugu soo laabteen England bishii Oktoobar, halkaas oo Evans lagu abaalmariyay billaddii Polar Bronze oo dib ugu soo biiray ciidanka badda, isagoo ku takhasusay sarkaal maraakiibta ah. Sanadkii 1907 wuxuu si kooban uga fekeray inuu ka mid noqdo Shackleton safarkiisa Antarctic
, laakiin wuxuu go'aansaday in ay muhiim tahay in uu waqti badan ku qaato xirfadiisa badda, si looga fogaado in uu xaddido mustaqbalkiisa mustaqbalka.
