I bought an old chest of drawers recently and found inside a bundle of letters written during the first world war from a Captain Cyril Weller to his wife. I believe she lived in the Bournemouth area but its hard to tell. They had a daughter called Betty. Ages, d.o.b. etc. I don;t know and Mrs. Weller is always referred to by affectionate terms rather than by name. I would love to be able to pass these on to any of the Weller family if it were possible. They paint a picture of what life was like during WW1 If I can't trace the family does anyone know which museum might be interested. Mary Brooke |

As she came from Bournmouth, maybe the Somerset and Dorset Family History Society would be interested. www(.)sdfhs(.)org |

If you get onto Chris Weymouth at his site www.1914-1918.net He may be able to use them on his site. There is a forum online at the site you may be able to locate the family by using the soldiers forum. If you have difficulty e-mail me and I will give you Chris's e-mail address. mine is [email protected] regards Christina |

Thanks for that. I'll give it a go. I'd love any descendants of the familyto have them but its not easy tracing them with no d.o.b. and not being sure of the area. Mary |
