PM from Janette:

Due to your help I have contacted one of the descendants of Douglas Weldon who has agreed to help me with my DNA testing. Thank you so very much.

My God - you're a fountain of info. Lots for me to research here & you are such a help. I have found myself tonight a direct male descendant of Edgar Reginald (1889), known as Reginald. He has a grandson living in Weymouth, so I will write to him tomorrow. Hope he is interested in helping me with my situation.

Found an address for the 1970 person by Googling his name, and he's in the phone book - will PM Janette.

If the 1934 son is Victor's, he married in 1963 in Poole.

But I don't see any births of children.

EDIT:

Yes, one son born in Poole 1970.

Is there a direct male descendant of any of the sons of Charles Weldon & Madonna Roberts of Shaftesbury (married in 1883)? Desperate to contact one.
