wedlock family
« on: Wednesday 11 August 10 07:58 BST (UK) »
My Great uncle emigrated to Canada in 1913, he was down as my grandfathers next of kin during WW1 as being in British Columbia. But I cannot trace him any further in Canada and was wondering if he travelled over the boarder into the United States. His name was William John Wedlock, born 1888 in Surrey, England.

I would be grateful for any bits of information to try and solve his mysterious disappearance.

Thank you

Hi Sandra

It's not my family - beagle1066 made the original post.   :D

I just meant it was great to find something so personal.  Sorry for any confusion!

Thank you to everyone who has replied but it does seem that the William Wedlock is not the correct one.

Thanks again but I will keep looking, he must be out there somewhere.
