Scotty,
Probably no relation but this is an extracy from a return mail that I sent
to kwelland(a)webtv.net
My mother's maiden name was Veronica Welland, she was the first in her
family to be born in England, 25th April 1917. Her mother and father moved
from Tramore Co. Waterford, Ireland around 1915 .
Her mother Alice was Irish but her father was English. He worked as a groom
for some landed gentry in Annestown, Co. Waterford. He died before I was
born but I recall my mother telling be about his large Hunting Pink Riding
Coat.. My Uncle Ernie Welland has attempted to trace the origins of his
father with no success. He only knows that his father (also Ernest) came
from the South of England. He did however discover that my great grandparents
lived in the Midlands at the time of my grandparents wedding.
