Derbyshire / Re: Arthur Wheeldon Birth record

Hi Anne,
Thank you for your quick response.
I have been researching the Towle family for some time but finding it difficult to go back further than 1787 when Thomas Towle born in Scarrington. I have no idea who his parents were or his siblings. I think that you and I are descended from Thomas and wife Mary (nee Girton).
I was born in Wollaton, Nottingham then moved to nearby Stapleford in 1949. I was living there in 1963 the year that Robert Foster Towle died [he was the brother of Edmund (Ediths father)] and I never knew I had relations so close by as Long Eaton where I even worked for a time..
Percy Towle, brother to Edith Annie, emigrated to USA in 1913 where he had 3 Lace Factories. I managed to trace Percy's son Robert Foster Towle b 1945, this son by Percy's 2nd wife who was quite a few years his junior. Robert seemed interested in genealogy at first, but it soon fizzled out.
I live in Nottingham, and if you are not too far away I would love to meet up with you. I have a lot of family photographs going way back but unfortunately no names written on the back but some I can decipher. I am quite sure I have photos of my gt grandfather Arthur and his family. Arthur being Edith's uncle.
I'd be quite happy to share what I have with you.
Regards
Julia
