Relatives of airman killed in WW2

That's a much likelier bet that one in 1901

The below link only goes up to 1919 online for Welsh newspapers but they could be worth contacting to see if they have any family notices for Tegwyn's death in 1944. Family notices can sometimes be full of names of other family members.

Thanks to all those who have responded to my request. I have all the relevant information about my Tegwyn Roberts. I got the birth dates from Free BMD -1st quarter 1924 but this does not give me the exact date. All I'm trying to do is to see if any surviving relatives are around. Tegwyn himself would be 90 this year if he was still alive. The crash took place over Holland 23/24 September 1944. The plane still had some unexploded ammunition on board when it was shot down so there was precious little human remains - although some Dutchmen who unearthed the aircraft found some human remains. They are putting together and exhibition in Holland later this year. They have managed to contact surviving relatives of five of the crew but so far have failed with remaining two including Tegwyn's.

Hello Helior,

I am interested in this thread, as I am also trying to find relatives of the lost crew on behalf of someone else, would be interested to know which crew you have relatives for?

I too am looking for those Tegwyn Roberts, and Thomas Brown.

Thanks for your message. I do not know of any existing relatives. I believe Tegwyn aka Tecwyn had a brother David, two sisters Mary and Annie- I think I'm correct about this last name. I'm almost sure that there was an older brother but have no details. Tecwyn and his family lived next door to my grandparents here in Denbigh, North Wales. This would have been during the years 1937 till about late
early 1950's. If you are interested I can send you a photo of Tecwyn in uniform.

Hello Lori,

Many thanks for the reply, I have Tegwyns birth as 13th April 1925 in St Asaph, I note on the thread 1924 is mentioned however there is a death of a Tegwyn Roberts in St Asaph dated 1924 also aged 0.

The Mother's maiden of 1925 Tegwyn name is Evans, I have tracked the father Morris b1883 and  mother Margaret (Maggie) b1886 on the 1939 Register as living at Castle View Estate Denbigh, this is the last known address.

If this address matches with you we may well have Siblings to track, as there is a redacted entry on the 39 Register.

The organisation I am researching for works in conjunction with the CWGC.

If I can find a relative for Tegwyn, then Thomas Brown is the only man left... There is a family tree with relatives of his potential wife Hilda Sephton on it...

Regards

Andy
