 ??? Hi Deb, I am des whittle of Weybridge Surrey - Perry Whittle.s  dad. The one thing that is for sure is that there have been more Georges in the Whittle family than there have been in the Royal Family. I knew from what my mother told me that thyere was a connection between the Weybridge Whittle's and the fairground Whittle's. The Whittle's seem to be an aloof family only ever meeting at funerals, high days and holidays so to speak. My father was Tom Whittle and he had brothers name: Jim, George, Albert, Bob and Charlie. There were two daughters called Phyllis and Dorothy -I think I've got them all. Bob as far as I know was taken P.O.W at Dunkirk and I should imagine many of the fairground Whittle's were called to arms during world warII. I will be interested in how you progress with searching the family background. Best Wishes. Des Whittle

Hi Wayne

thank you for the photographs, especially the photo of my grandmother Jane Sedgewick who was well known around the Weybridge parish as aunt Jane. She even had her own seat in the snug bar of the Crown pub, Thames St, Weybridge  :)

If you have any further pictures or information around the family i would be most grateful if you would communicate them to me. Please feel free to send a PM

Regards

Desmond Whittle
