I've been going through some old family photos and have found several relating to a Frank W. Weller and an envelope flap address from a J. Weller from Romford.

Attached is a picture labeled F.W. Weller 75 Somerset Rd Walthamstow E. 17

Here is another portrait of I believe is the same fellow. this is the picture that accompanied the letter [not shown]

Also depicted here is another image that came with the attached envelope to my Grandma Grace. I can't find her obit anywhere but I do know that the Weller family came to Canada in the early 80's to visit my mom [Mabel Fincher {Kidd} Franks cousin].

This photo shows the accompanying envelope that included Franks photo and a letter.

Google earth is amazing for searching and seeing what these locations look like now. although the address on the envelope flap doesn't seem to exist any more.


I hope this spurs some good leads into our combined heritage and hope it may settle some blanks along the way.


Best regards

Cheers!

Hi Tom,

 

Thanks for the great pictures. They say so much more than a few words.

Although I run the web site I am not a genealogist and cannot research your family tree back to meet mine.

You may wish to contact the WELLERs of Kent who are a larger branch but with no known connections to our branch. https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!forum/weller-of-kent They are also closer to Walthamstow.

I have copied in some WELLERs in Canada who may be able to make a connection.

 

Cheers,

Mal.

As in Edward Arthur Walstone Weller; http://www.nmarchive.com/a-z-database/soldier-listing/WE/soldiers-died-in-the-great-war-1914-1919/664164 ?

Do you know if you are from the WELLERs of Kent or Berkshire?

I have no record of Walstone in my tree.

Mal.

Yes I believe this is my fathers oldest brother, my uncle! My father was youngest of three brothers, Edward, Clifford, Leslie (him) and one sister. My Fathers Father died from a heart attack cutting down a tree in the garden when my father was a child in London. My father had me at 50yrs, hence how I can have an uncle in the first world war! My father was Leslie Stanley Walstone Weller and I am Paul Edward Walstone Weller. Don't know about Kent or Berkshire, but I remember driving my father to a family gathering near Lewis about 30yrs ago.
