He was Ernest Robert Wharton joined the army 1915 no 21269 and 121269 demobbed 1919.

Can't see marriage for him.

Among his Army records there is a letter dated 18/10/1938 asking for copy of his Demob papers.
there is a address
Ark Royal in inverted comma's
Ford Farm ?
Daventry?
Walsington?
It is hard to read.
Was he in the Navy?
Ark royal went to sea late 1938.

Herbert Edgar Wharton died 1950 in Abergavenny and his wife Jessie nee Matthews died 1955 in Abergavenny.

Hi Teresa

I have been compiling a W*GG One Name Study for anything related to WAGG, WEGG, WIGG or WIGGS since 1996. Website is located at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~vivianegan/wwwgg/index.htm

Do you know the name of Mildred's parents ?

Have quite an extensive database of WAGGs in north-west Norfolk if I can be of help.

regards

You would do better to send private messages about W*gg one name study.

This one was posted 18 months ago, Teresa may not be checking now for replies

Not sure if you are on here but I am a relative of Ernest Wharton (1st cousin 2 removed). I never new him myself but I have information for you. He married a Clarice Collier and they had two children Roy Wharton and Jean Wharton. When Ernest was about 57 he moved his family to British Columbia in Canada and he died there in 1962.

Hi, Julia -
The best way to contact Teresa or other person who has posted on this thread is to click on their name, at the top of their message, and send a private message (PM).

It's a few years since any of them added to this thread, so are not likely to be looking for replies here now.

If they have the same email address, GenesReunited will contact them.
