Good Morning all, Is anyone researching the DOUGLAS family? I am interested in the parents and grandparents of Terence DOUGLAS and his wife Sheila no name. Apparently he was a Methodist minister who served in WW2 and was captured in Tobruk and spent some time as a pow. Any info or pointers would be appreciated. Regards, Rod g
