Hi I am trying to trace the family of Robert aka Cyril John Wilson born around 19.11.1919, they lived in the Pool meadow canley area of Coventry. He may have had a brother called Albert or Alfred and sisters Hilda and Winnie, does this ring a bell with anyone. We were told that he joined the regular army under age and his parents tried to buy him out, but he would not leave.
many thanks in advance
Kathy

Have you checked your sent messages to see if they have been opened, if not, the envelope will still be purple.

Holton (or Holtom) is the mother's maiden name.

Which is why I have posted Lucy Holtom's marriage to John Wilson
