Robert Leslie Wickenden born in Southborough in 1896: any descendants?
Hi; thank you for letting join the forum.
My name is Darren and I live in Bedfordshire.
When my Father passed away a couple of years ago we found something in his possessions that originally belonged to a man called Robert Leslie Wickenden who was born in Southborough in 1896 and I would like to trace any direct living descendants to pass the items on as they may be of sentimental value.
Nobody in my family knows how they came to be with us but we suspect that Robert may have served in WW1 with my Great Grandfather. We do have some family from Kent but I've searched for ages and I can't find any real connection.
I know Robert served as a (Horse) Driver in the Royal Field Artillery; married Lilian Stokes in 1925 and died in Hendon in January 1933 but the trail goes cold after that.
I'm about to send off for his death certificate but if any of the above sounds familiar then please get in touch,
Many Thanks
Darren
