Hello Malcolm
I've looked at this site for the first time in 8 yrs, how time flies!! I've started to get the family history itch again. When I made my original post I was contacted by a chap who had done a great deal of work investigating the Evas, he'd got as far back as the 1700s. I was shocked to find my dad's name on his genealogy. If you want a copy of what I was sent let me know and I'll send it through.
My particular interest is in my grandad Frederick Edward George Eva, born in Jun 1911 in Plymouth, Devon. His siblings were Alfred, William, Winifred, John, and Doris. His parents were Alfred EVA and Florence Beatrice SEARLE. My side of the family left Kenwyn nr Truro sometime in the early to mid 1800s. So if we are cousins it would be fairly distant!!
Best wishes
Mark
