Hi All;
Brand-new newbie here (I know that's redundant). Any help that you folks might be able to provide would be greatly appreciated!
I recently acquired a pre-WWII car that originally belonged to Woolf Barnato. It came with an extensive history folio that included personal letters written by a famous aviatrix, Diana Barnato Walker (Woolf's daughter) discussing the car with the most recent owner.
Have been doing exhaustive research, but have hit a roadblock.
In 1947, Diana's only child was born (of a 30 year affair with Whitney Willard Straight) and his given name is (*). My attempts to track him down have been in vain, as the search (*) only shows that he was still alive at Diana's death in 2008, and (*) produces 40,000 (!!) results associated with Woolf's father Barney Barnato.
Are there any suggestions that might help me track Diana's son down? I would love to reach him and share copies of her letters with him. They are full of personality and written in the last few years of her life on UK Air Transport Auxilary letterhead.
