Dawn, I take it you do not have their marriage cert? I think you might need it with a name like Evans! The marriage is on freebmd (note slight variation in spelling):
Harry Moss Eveline A Evans Sept qtr 1928 Coventry ref 6d 1673
This will give you Evelyn's father, and you may be able to go back further with this.
Children Alan H. and possibly Sylvia.
If you haven't done so, try using freebmd - very satisfying when you find what you need!!

Dawn - just to make sure what I wrote wasn't misleading: freebmd is a way of finding births, marriages and deaths. It gives you the info as I gave it, which you will need to get the marriage cert, and from that the fathers' names. To obtain the certificate, go on the GRO website and click "order a certificate online now". Just follow the instructions!
