Hey Jax,

Thanks for the update.
Based on your info a lovely person named Deborah has located a 3rd Cousin twice removed.
Lynda has shown me her family tree doesn't seem to be her wottons.
Deborah seperately gave me a name of Chris Wotton from Gravesend (as there are a lot of Wottons in Gravesend). from her own contacts
Chris Wotton manages one of the six trees I sent info request to!
The hunt continues.#
Will update as I get closer.

Best,

J

Just noticed it was from jax. Thought it was Kay Yes the info looks good but am waiting on response from 5 PMs sent to Family tree. One responded to say not theirs

Thanks will keep updating!

I gather,from the comments, the info given by Jax isn't related to your Wooton's so researchers can focus their efforts elsewhere looking for them?

Age seems about right 32 getting married? Thomas would have been about 27 from my calculations!

Well Kay,

I took your advice and searched family trees. Using Thomas Wotton date of birth I found six family tree matches for that dob named wotton. I have PM'd them all directing them to the link above. So I'll wait until i hear back from them.

Found it easy enough to navigate through site. thanks again for help.

Wotton Thomas Edwin Strood 2a 531

Welcome to the boards James

Have you searched the trees on here to see if anyone has them in their tree?

Hi ,

Newbie so go easy.
I have recently found some original letters (5) from Thomas to Elizabeth in a history book purchased at car boot sale.
I am looking to locate a living relative of either Thomas or Elizabeth to pass these wonderful letters on to.

The information I have and tried to date is as follows:
They were written by Thomas Wotton to his wife Elizabeth Wotton (nee Crea)
being the maiden name. Thomas was killed in action and was buried in the
Huts cemetary, Belgium.

I would dearly love to find and give these letters to some member of the Wotton-Crea Family. I have tried unsucessfully to locate any member of the Family. They had no children in their short married life. I have written to their last known address, the local chemist for that area, Portsmouth Museum and also the persons whom the history books were bought from.


> Extra Information:
> Thomas Edwin Wotton, Sergeant, Royal Garrison Artillery, 179 Siege Bty,
> Aged 30, Date of Death: 11/08/1917
> Service number : 24063, son of the late William Wotton of Kent, Husband of
> Elizabeth Agnes Wotton of 30 Highland Road, Eastney, Southsea, Portsmouth.
> Casualty Type: Commonwealth War Dead
> Grave Memorial Reference: II.B.20.

Thomas & Elizabeth were married at the end of 1914 and there was no children registered to them.
Thomas was born in Kent and was possibly in Portsmouth because of the army. He enlisted in Chatham and his normal place of residence was shown as Rochester in Kent.

Elizabeth Crea may have been born in Ireland. Elizabeth was a lodger at 30 Highland Road and although she was there in early 1920s she had left by 1926. I don't know if she remarried.

If i should be doing something else also please let me know.

Thanks,

James
