Hi

Sorry - but as explained by the moderator in an earlier post - Rootschat does not allow details of possible living persons to be posted here

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=670288.0;topicseen

You may find the following helpful in tracing relatives

www.freebmd.org.uk

Use the above site to look for his birth which will give his mothers maiden name

Again using freebmd - search for Weldon births with that mothers maiden name which will tell you if he had any siblings and when they were born

If you decide to contact the newspaper as suggested above - you will then have some additional info to help in any search for living relatives

Hello,  I have just seen your post and am curious to know the reason for you search. My mother was the wife of Sgt E E Weldon and their daughter, born in 1942 six months after her fathers death, is my sister.
