Crew Memorials at Barry & Tower Hill

I have a confirmation that the names of the following crew:

DAVIES, JOSHUA SIMEON

EVELEIGH, ALEXANDER DAVID

both from Barry in South Wales are commorated on the Merchant Navy Memorial in Barry as well as at Tower Hill Memorial in London. I'll be getting photo confirmation of this shortly.

I know that the name "Eveleigh" is well-known locally, so we may be able to get more information from surviving family members. "Davies" could be slightly more problematic, seeing as every 8th person in Wales is either Davis or Davies!
