Hello there,
I notice several people have mentioned George and Jane Whittle (nee Sedgwick), who are my great-great grandparents. George died in 1944. He was a 'Miller Oil Mill' in 1901 and a general labourer in 1924.
Jane Sedgwick married him in 1902 in Walton-on-Thames and they had about 12 children, including those mentioned in this topic Thomas William Whittle (1908-1974) and my great grandfather George Thomas Whittle (1902-1992).
Jane died in 1979 aged 96; I will post a picture of her once my internet works again.
Some people have mentioned that these people are connected to the Fairground Whittle's, but I can't prove or disprove this.
There are two coincidences: George Thomas Whittle was a boilermaker. His father was born in Putney, which has been mentioned before.
Is there any connection; or should I start a new topic about George and Jane?
