I am trying to find my late fathers line. His name was Jesse Bowdler Wilson (Peter) and he was born at 221 Speedwell Road, Hay Mill, Yardley Rd, Solihull on 26/03/1909. His father was Arthur Spencer Wilson (Master Fruiterer), Mother Ada Maria Bonner. I believe that he had two older brothers and a sister (deceased). He went to live with an aunt Circa 1916-20? He worked in the mouldings dept of Cadbury's and joined the RAF ( I believe he had the nickname of Tug?). He also lived in Holland and was married to a lady called Bets (Dutch) and she died in Scotland circa 1949-50. He was employed with KLM Royal Dutch Airlines (Airline Station Manager). He married in my mum in Nov 1958 moved to Limerick, Ireland in 1964 and was based at Shannon Airport. He died there in Sept 1976. I would appreciate any help.
