He was married to Lillian Ann Hodges. Have you any information on him. My father is Edward Vernon Elkington born 7th December 1920. I would like to trace back the family tree for my son who is interested. Unfortunately my father died when I was Young so I do not have many details of his relatives. Any help would be appreciated.
