Hi John, Thanks again for your continued help. I have details of my grandmother 's family history as I was involved with genealogists Fraser and Fraser some years ago when a cousin of my mother died intestate. My grandmother's name was Lydia Elizabeth Hannah Taylor and was born on n 09/07/1880. She died circa 1970 in the St Neots area. Possible in the he village of Great Staughton.

Kind regards

john.

John, I can't thank you enough for all your help in finding out about George Henry Wheeler. I don't want to bore you with my family history but this chap has always been a bit of a mystery. It was only by accessing the 1921 census that I got a flavour and an interest in circumstances surrounding my mother. As you can determine from the dates he engaged in a relationship with my grandmother when he was in his sixties. My grandmother was 26 years his junior and younger than his children with Emily Hooper. My mother was born the year after Emily Hooper died. George then fathered children up to the age of 68/69 them disappeared. Quite some guy!! Is the picture supplied of him as he appears to be wearing a navy uniform?

Once again thanks for all your efforts.

Kind regards.
John.

Hi John-76. Many many thanks for your information regarding George Henry Wheeler. It is very much appreciated. Unfortunately I had no other responses other than your own. I am not entirely sure that this is the George Henry Wheeler I am looking for as the information you sent me indicates he was in the Navy but the 1921 census indicates he was an Army pensioner at the time of the census. He was born in Newport on the of Wight in August 1854 and was living in Newport Wales in 1921. Any other help in determine his history would be much appreciated.

Regards,. John. (Jamieson24)

Hello all enquiries about George Henry Wheeler. I have only recently joined this forum having recently accessed the 1921 census. I have noticed that a few people have posted comments about George and their connection with him. George Henry Wheeler was my grandfather,yes that's correct my grandfather. George was born on the Isle of Wight in 1854 and as began a relationship with my grandmother Betty Taylor (born 1880). My mother Betty Wheeler was born in 1918 in Cardiff when George Henry Wheeler was 63. The couple subsequently went on to have a further three children, George Henry Cyril, Enid Clara and Robert James Wheeler who died in infancy in France. It looks that George Henry Wheeler was still fathering children when he was about 68. He then died aged 73 and understand he is buried in St John's cemetery on the Isle of Wight.
I notice that one of the previous postings on this site (Rowanali) indicates the George Henry Wheeler was their great grandfather and as this appears to be the case we must be related. As his son George Henry Cyril Wheeler died without children, I suspect your Grandmother must be Enid Clare Wheeler.(married name Tounge.). If this is not the case, it would appear that George Henry Wheeler was married and had children before he met my grandmother. George Henry Wheeler is a bit of a mystery to our family as he died not long after Robert James Wheeler was born. Any information about George's life would be appreciated, warts and all.
