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.

************************
I am asking for help on behalf of Perranporth memorial service organisers who are trying to trace the relatives of seven soldiers who were killed in 1940, including:

Name:EVANS, THOMAS EDWARD CHARLES (born MONMOUTHSHIRE)
Rank:Private
4077528
Regiment/Service:King's Own Royal Regiment (Lancaster)
Unit Text:7th Bn.
Age:27
Date of Death:07/07/1940
Service No:4077528
Additional information:Son of Thomas and Sarah Olwen Evans, of BARGOED,
GLAMORGAN.
Cemetery:PERRANZABULOE (ST. PIRAN) CHURCHYARD

I have posted more info about the original enquiry here:
[http://perranporthveteransmissing.posterous.com/]

I am not personally looking for relatives. I am just trying to help any remaining relatives find out about this memorial service. The organisers are keen to ensure that they track them down for the 70th and last memorial service.

Please could you let me know whether or not you think that you are related or if you can help by giving me any leads? I have agreed to help the organisers by following up any leads on Genes Reunited.

Many, many thanks to everyone who has already helped with the other queries I have posted recently about the other soldiers,

Best wishes,

Liz

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!

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 ...

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

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.
