WEDDELL family *COMPLETED*

[JaniceLy]

Hi,
I live in Mosgiel and have some info on Errol James WEDDELL. Our genealogy group did a book on the  W W 2 soldiers killed in action. Errol is the son of Alexander McMillan WEDDELL and Eva (nee RICHARDSON) I am happy to scan the info about him and P M you with it if you would like. It is from the book we put out called" For The Fallen" the story of the 31 men of W W 2 who appear on the Mosgiel Cenotaph. The names seem connected so he may be your family.

Hi Gails

I just saw this name and I was wondering about the spelling of the name
as it seems very similar to  Twadell, Tweddell  as this name appears in some connection in my own family of my father line , particular his sisters married name

There is a lot of the name around Carcoar , Cowra ,Bowral location in NSW

And my fathers mother remarried a Tweddell and died in 1968 in New Zealand

It is a both a "Border Reivers" surname for someone who lived in the valley of the Tweed river, in Northumberland, and also tribal in that nameholders owed allegiance both to the English and Scottish monarchs, or often - neither!

Hi Gail S
I was doing some searching and found your post.
I am also looking at this part of the family. Esther is my Great Grand Aunt. I have little information on Esther other than her marriage and the names of three of her 4 children.
If we are able to exchange information, that would be fantastic. I may have information you are interested in if you are in fact still involved in this family tree.
