Does anybody know if there are any records of children evacuated during the war.My brother and sister were evacuated to Wrexham and I was wondering if there were any records of such events

Evacuated from where?

Here's what the London Metropolitan Archives has to say about evacuation from London.

Similar issues apply elsewhere. When you've familiarised yourself with the background, the relevant CRO would be best place to approach in the first instance.

It that case you need to approach Liverpool Record Office.

I would still advise reading and absorbing the London guidance because many of the issues such as "Problems in tracing individual children and schools" are likely to apply anywhere in the country.
