Today sees the start of our effort to trace descendants of Swansea-born Thomas Collins. This morning we were interviewed on ‘Good Morning Wales’, the breakfast show for BBC Radio Wales. Jeremy Banning also had an early start and a 6.50am interview with the Breakfast Show on BBC Radio Bristol.

For those of you in South West Wales, the daily newspaper ‘The South Wales Evening Post’ has an extended article all about the Tunnellers Memorial and Thomas Collins. This is in the ‘Looking Back’ section of the newspaper. Please click here to see a scan of this article.
We are grateful to the BBC and The South Wales Evening Post for helping us publicise our search. We would be delighted if any descendants of Thomas Collins could join us for the memorial unveiling on Saturday 19 June. Should any readers have any information about family or descendants of Thomas Collins then please contact us. Details can be found here.
