Will Wakeham b. 1911

Will Wakeham was the son of Gertrude Clarke, Anthony Jacques Cheeper/Clarke's 2nd child by Emma Terry, and William Ellis Wakeham.

He was born 5 May 1911.

He married on 2 Sep 1939 to Marjorie Constance, b. 29 Mar 1908, d. 1993.

Will would have been 29-35 during WWII, but may have been very much involved in it. It appears he's always lived in London. So even if he was 'medicalled out' of the forces, or in a restricted occupation, he'd have had trouble avoiding the Blitz.

Will and Marjorie had 2 children:

• Carol Ann Wakeham, b. 17 May 1948, m. on 13 Apr 1974 to Anthony Charles Owen, living and working in schools in Walton-on-Thames, with two children:
  • James Anthony Owen b. 9 May 1977
  • Simon Edward Owen b. 30 Jul 1979
• Anthony William Wakeham, b. 10 May 1945, a confirmed bachelor, resident in Italy (just south of Rome) for many years and retired as of c. 2005

Will lives in Walton-on-Thames, and Geoff Clarke has been in ongoing contact with him.

In June 2006, I missed meeting Will because he'd just left for his annual 4 weeks in Italy with his son (at age 95). He was complaining about no longer being able to drive, and needing some assistance to get around.

We're missing a lot of information; and we'd love to know more!
