Question:

Researching surviving family of WWII Lancaster bomber pilot in Sydney, Australia.?

I'm trying to trace any surviving family of Rowland Telford Ward, late of North Bondi, Sydney, killed over Germany in March 1945. His mother, Emily, died at Kogarah in 1968, her death being registered by a nephew, L Ferguson of Sunnyside Place, Blakehurst. Rowland was an only child. His mother's maiden name was Wintle from the Bega district, she had 3 brothers and 1 sister, the latter being Amanda F. who married John C Ferguson in 1914. "L" Ferguson may be a son, but I can get no further than that. I would welcome any help or recommendations about the way forward.
I'm in Dorset, England so operating "remotely" as it were!

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: You could check the Sydney White Pages online, to see if there are any Wintles still in the Bega district.

I also see a lot of advertisments placed in our Sunday paper I'm in Melbourne) but maybe Sydney has a similar thing. Good luck with your family tree!
