Runningman Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Any information / connections please with the late John Easton Wilson, died 17 September 2008 in the Moorend Place Care Centre, 34 Commonside, Walkley. My Uncle, Douglas German Wilson, his father was Easton Wilson. I presume the late John to have possibly been Douglas's brother. I have little information about Douglas, who was married to my Father's sister, Winifred. After the death of Winifred in approx 1940, our family lost all connections with Douglas. Douglas's Grandfather was German Wilson, Millwright at Malin Bridge at the time of the Sheffield Flood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
