1891 Churchyard, Ware, Hertfordshire (birth) 1891 1 Union Road, Croydon, Surrey (Census RG12/592 Folio 59 page 42) 1901 7 Church Yd (End of) Ware, Hertfordshire as Ernest 1911 Royal Artillery Barracks, St Matthews, Ipswich, Suffolk. Lt Co. C J CAULFIELD Also as a Patient on Reference RG14PN10824 RD213 SD1 ED26 SN9999 Information from Forces War Records Site sent by John TERRY 15/10/2014 First Name: E C S Surname: WHEATON Fate: Wounded 30/07/1915. Rank: Gunner Service Number: 62165 Service: British Army Regiment: Royal Horse Artillery Royal Horse Artillery during World War 1 Margaret "Peggy" SIMPSON née WHEATON, great granddaughter of Annie writes that she "was a German Jew. Therefore all children take the mother's religion". "Judaism is passed on to any children through their mother". She goes on to explain about Charles and Annie's son Ernest. "That is why Ernest is with his mother at Golders Green Jewish Cemetery and my grandmother was buried at Finchley. When I asked my father why his mother was not with his father he said because she was a gentile and not a Jew". Information from Margaret "Peggy" SIMPSON née WHEATON "A little bit about my granddad. He was a very stern man as you can see by the photos. I don't remember him smiling. The only time he ever spoke to us was when he told us to do something. He never had anybody come to the house to see him; he did not have any friends. He had no contact with any of his family either. During the war my Mum said he never went to the air raid shelter, he always stayed at home". Information from Margaret "Peggy" SIMPSON née WHEATON "My great grandfather, David SKINNER, went into Partnership with a Mr LILLEY and founded LILLEY and SKINNER, the shoe people. MR. LILLEY bought my great grandfather's share but retained the name. It was David's daughter, Mary, who married my grandfather, Ernest WHEATON" Mary Helena SKINNER had been married previously June quarter 1914 Hendon District, Middlesex to Douglas RACKLEY. They had a son, Douglas A J, born June quarter 1916 Hendon District, Middlesex Information from Margaret "Peggy" SIMPSON née WHEATON "After his parent's divorced Douglas was taken from his mother and brought up by two maiden aunts and told that his mother died in childbirth. It was not until about 1953 when his mother saw him again. This was done through the Salvation Army" Margaret "Peggy" SIMPSON née WHEATON, great granddaughter of Annie writes that she "was a German Jew. Therefore all children take the mother's religion". "Judaism is passed on to any children through their mother". She goes on to explain about Charles and Annie's son Ernest. "That is why Ernest is with his mother at Golders Green Jewish Cemetery and my grandmother was buried at Finchley. When I asked my father why his mother was not with his father he said because she was a Gentile and not a Jew. My father still has his father's Star of David which was given to my grandfather by his mother". Ernest WHEATON has had numerous strokes and can neither walk nor talk (2003). He has been in hospital at St Pancras for the last 15 years. Information from Forces War Records Site sent by John TERRY 15/10/2014 First Name: L G Surname: WHEATON Nationality: British Rank: Driver Service Number: 14548199 Gallantry Awards: Mentioned in Despatches This is the lowest form of recognition that was announced. The Mention in Despatches (M.I.D.) for a Soldier is not an award of a medal, but is a commendation of an act of gallantry or service. L G WHEATON’s name would appear in the official report written by a Superior Officer and sent to the high command, in which is described the Soldier's gallant or meritorious action in the face of the enemy. This despatch is published in the London Gazette newspaper of the State, which has existed since 1665 and is still published today. The phrase "Mentioned in Despatches" was used for the first time in a newspaper article by Winston Churchill on 6th October 1898. From the time of the Boer War, the Despatches were published in full or in part. During World War One the citations published in the London Gazette did not usually give details of the place and date of the action for which awarded for security reasons. For most of these you need details from the War Office copy of the gazette. This can enable a search of the unit War Diary which will give a broader picture of the action for which L G WHEATON was awarded the M.I.D. In general no recommendations for Mention in Despatches survive for the army during WW1. A soldier could be mentioned in despatches more than once and in 1919 Army Order 166/1919 confirmed that individuals mentioned would receive a certificate, this included all British forces and Commonwealth Countries. In 1920 the Army Order authorised the issue of an oak leaf emblem decoration to be pinned or sewn diagonally on to the ‘Victory’ medal ribbon. If no campaign medal is awarded, the oak leaf is worn on the left breast of the dress uniform. This would signify that L G WHEATON had been ‘Mentioned in Despatches’. Gazette Info: http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/37575/supplements/2462 Gazette Date: 23/05/1946 Gazette Page: 2462 Duty Location: Mediterranean Campaign Medals: War Medal 1939-1945 As with most Armed Forces Serving Personal during the conflict of World War Two, L G WHEATON was entitled to the War Medal 1939-1945. This medal was awarded to all full time service personnel who had completed 28 days service between 3rd September 1939 and the 2nd September 1945. Eligible personnel who had been “Mentioned In Despatches” during the War were entitled to wear a bronze oak leaf emblem on the ribbon. Those eligible for a campaign star, yet who had their service cut short by death, wounds or capture by the enemy, still qualified for this medal. 1939-45 Star Given the information available to us it is likely that L G WHEATON was awarded the 1939-45 Star for operational Service in the Second World War between 3rd September 1939, and 2nd September 1945. L G WHEATON would have been awarded this star if their service period was terminated by their death or disability due to service. Also the award of a gallantry medal or “Mention In Despatches” also produced the award of this medal, regardless of their service duration. Fighter Aircraft Crew who took part in the Battle of Britain (10 July to 31 October 1940) were awarded the "Battle of Britain" bar to this medal. In undress uniform, a silver-gilt rosette was worn on the medal ribbon to denote the award of this clasp.

The idea of these charts is to give the information that we have found in the research we have done and put together and with the help of many other people who have contacted us over the past thirty odd years we have been researching our family. The idea is that you click on the Chart box in blue to be taken to the next family. There is now a large number of charts to be found and connections can be made to all the main families I am researching. If a chart has a box with the standard background it means that as yet I have not put the Chart on the Web.
To conform to the Data Protection Act all the Charts have been altered to exclude all details for living people other than the name.
