I'm doing some historical research about my uncle, Wim (Bill) Melissen. He escaped from Holland during the war and joined the 220 Dutch squadron of the RAF. There he met a WAAF girl, Ellen Monaghan.

Unfortunately his airplane was hit nine days after their wedding, and he died.

Ellen married again a few days later, with mr. Arkle.

 

I liked to come in touch with people who knew Ellen Arkle-Monaghan. Maybe her children, neigbours or other relatives?

I would also be pleased with photo's of Ellen.

So, if you have known her or can help me in an other way, please let me know.

Hi Peter, I think she may have had four daughters and have sent you details in a message.

"A few days later " has to be "several years later", as you will understand.

 

Can someone tell me how you can or remove your own posts? Or isn't that possible?
