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.
