Letter: Help me to climb my family tree

Published 14 Oct 2010 11:00 0 Comments

I am researching members of my family who lived in Berkshire and I have found out that my sister, Louise Elizabeth Rixon, married William J McKenzie in Wokingham in 1917 and had three children: William (1917), Ruby (1919) and Leslie (1921).

They were born in the Reading area, so I am hoping that there are surviving relatives of the family in the neighbourhood.

My brother, Harry Rixon BEM, who served in the First World War, had a family who I have now met and his photograph appeared in a Reading paper when he was wounded. I am in my 90th year and wish to finish my family tree and a book about my life so any information readers can provide would be welcome.
