Update July 9th:

WELSH TV STORY REACHES COUSIN OF PRIVATE THOMAS EDWARD CHARLES EVANS!

Great News! As a result of July 7ths superb ITV Wales coverage of the Penhale story, a cousin of Private Thomas Edward Charles Evans (K.O.R.R.) has been in touch today and will be attending the Remembrance Service at Perranporth.

We are now needing only 3 more . . . two from Wales and one from Nottinghamshire.

LadyKira -- do a search of TTF for PERRANPORTH and that will find all the threads.

I think Elizabeth has one with all the threads linked, but I'm not sure where that is. I'll look for it and nudge it if I find it.

could I suggest you keep these posts nudged for a bit so we can find them.

Many thanks Victoria :-)

The chap needing this info has asked me to thank everyone so I will add that to my post with the link to all the threads involved :-)

The response has been amazing!

Best wishes,

Elizabeth was being shy about posting the rest. ;)

I have to leave to eat and sleep, but I'll be prepared to be impressed in the morning! Well, afternoon, even my Canadian time. No.1 is still recovering from eye surgery and so I have a week's worth of dishes to do in the morning ...

thank Janey

I am doing that but we names to search on

from 1891 census
Thomas Powell

so far no luck with family trees on Ancestry!

I LOVE you Janey! :-)

Just noting on Elizabeth's behalf -- if we taking on the names do some of the tree searching too and give her some suggestions for likelies, it would lighten her burden a bit!

His mother also had half-siblings named EDMUNDS
