Donald Edward Wheeldon
« on: Wednesday 19 August 15 13:54 BST (UK) »
Hi there, I was wondering if anyone could help me trace Donald Edward Wheeldon. He married Nita Doreen Moore in 1941 in Weymouth, Dorset but then left her to marry Cicely Isobel Patricia Mordan in 1947 in Portsmouth. 2 years later Cicely and their daughter emigrated to New Zealand but Donald is no where to be found. He is on the electoral role in New Zealand from 1957 and when he was naturalised in 1977 the former states he was born on 28th January 1918 in Sudbury, Derbyshire but the family seem to think he was born in Uttoxeter, Staffordshire. There is a birth record that supports the family's thoughts, volume 6b page 535. If this is correct then his mother's maiden name is Leech, again I can't find a marriage for a woman named Leech to a man named Wheeldon. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello

I can't see the birth you mention  :-\

I can see two with Wheeldon Leech in Uttoxeter but in 1912 1916.

There are 2 possible male Wheeldon female Leech marriages 1903 1905
Hinchliffe - Huddersfield Wiltshire
Burroughs - Arlingham Glos
Pick - Frocester Glos

Donald's birth was registered 1918 in Uttoxeter registration district - this district covers parts of Staffordshire and parts of Derbyshire - it covers Sudbury Derbys
so most probably he was born in Sudbury and registered in the district of Uttoxeter

The other two births could be siblings and as one was born 1912 if we are lucky there might be a young newly married Wheeldon couple in 1911 right area to investigate.

Thank you both. I think the family have got their details a bit mixed up. They thought his father might have been samuel but from what's been found by you it was his brother
