I am trying to find any information on Gwendoline Winifred Needham and her relatives. B. 1931 to James Wilfred Needham and Mary (possibly Gwendoline also) Needham (nee Hinchcliffe), most likely at 27 Carlyle Road, Maltby Rotherham. Gwen had a number of siblings, but we only know about Christine (much younger) and Harry. She m. Rex William Bennell on 29/03/1952. Had one son Stuart John before d. 25/08/1953 aged 22. Stuart was adopted by his father's sister (who's married name was Fennell). Stuart is my father. I am in contact with my biological grandfather Rex, but we know very little about Gwen herself. We know that her sister Christine is still in the area where Gwen died as she has left flowers on her grave. If anyone has any information please get in touch. I would like to have known my grandmother.
