The children of William Henry Evans

[AEvs]

Hi I am also a great grandson of William Henry Evans and trying to locate my own family roots etc. I am the grandson of William Thomas Evans.

I can tell you that Eliza did emigrate to Canada before the first world war and re-married bigamously as far as I understand. That was why she never re-entered the UK. On my family tree I posted a picture of Eliza in her 80s in America. She lived to a lively old age and was an active citizen over there. If you require more information I can ask within the family.

James Evans married and moved to Teignmouth and my father was evacuated to live with him there during the Second World War, during the first war he worked on the development of the first tanks I am led to believe.

As for Albert Evans I believe he has still has living relatives and I can ask my uncle who is one of William Thomas's sons.

If you send me a private message on here I can send you my address for you to contact me and perhaps we can share research information.

Regards
Andy

I forgot to mention I have in my possession a medal awarded to William Henry. It is gold and has the coat of arms of Cardiff as a city on it. It says it was awarded to W H Evans in 1916 but doesn't say why on the inscription so if anybody knows anything about it and could tell me that would be great.
