Hi

sorry i've been gone so long, i have found out my grandfather was married twice, first to Alice Agnis Cheeseman then to Mary Ann Scally born Rosscommon Ireland (my grandmother)

My grandfather Thomas William Whittle's mother was Jane Sedgewick later Jane Whittle (my sister is named after her). My father and aunt believe my great grandfather was either William or George. Problem is with that era you never knew your grandparents that well to know their full names i suppose. Hope this helps

G. A. Whittle's Burrell 'Princess Morg' at Old Deer Park, Richmond, Surrey, on Sun. 9th April, 1939.

this ties in with what i have been told, Richmond was a key area for the family during that period

hi

i spoke to my parents and my grandfather was

Thomas William Whittle, born around 1910

My parents confirmed the relationship to the Whittle family fairground, but it goes way back.

The fairground family was well off.
indeed, that is what i was told by elder members of my family. In fact apparently the fairground family owned substantial amounts of property too in the affluant Richmond Hill area. I'll keep digging and see what i can find out

sadly my grandmother passed away last year and grandfather died about 35 years ago, i will speak to my father and try to get more info. His father was Tom Whittle. My father did tell me that the fairground Whittle's became related to the Hickey's of Richmond family who were boiler makers (makes sense being steam folk). If i got it right Hickey's daughter married a Whittle, do you have any more info?

regards

Perry
