Since more than 70 per cent of their records were destroyed in the Blitz, only a proportion of them have full details.

The Camelford and Advent 1914-1918 group is now starting phase two of the website, which will be for new Camelfordians.
A spokesman said: "Ninety-plus per cent of the residents in Camelford had a relative that, in some way or another, fought in uniform or on the home front, male or female. These relatives who are no longer with us deserve to be remembered, for they fought for what we have today in this country.
"If you want to remember and honour your heroic ancestor and be proud to tell the world what he or she did, then please contact us and let us know."
