Hello to the List,

I am seeking knowledge of the Parents and Siblings of James Henry BAKER
(deceased in 1991).

His Father was possibly Thomas BAKER, and his Mother was either Lucy or
Louisa.......and they lived in a small country town in Victoria.

Also WHEELER descendants of :- John "Jack" Francis WHEELER and his wife
Elsie Lillian (nee SOUTHAM). (Elsie was my Maternal Granny's sister)
WHEELER children as far as I know, they may not be in order of birth.

(1) Phyllis Anne, b 1912/1914 in West Australia, married (above) James
Henry BAKER, in Melbourne, (I think) I have found and spoken with 2 of their
5 children.
However, due to a 'family' upset many, many years ago the BAKER family have
not had any contact with the WHEELER family descendants for many, many
years, and cannot help me in seeking WHEELER family members.

(2)? Patricia b. Melbourne, married.
(3)? Lindsay, b. Melbourne, died over Germany 1942/1943.
(4)? Christopher, b. Melbourne, Married, had family, died at Melbourne
1989/1991?
(5)? I think there is another son, maybe named Jack?

There is a WHEELER grandson, and all I know about him, is that his name is
Ron, and he is married and lives at Geelong.

I am sorry to be sooooooo vague, with these rellies of mine, they have been
elusive for some time now. I would realy like to have some contact with
this part of my Mothers family.

With Best Regards,

Leona in Toowoomba, Qld.
