Surnames: MCLEES, WILLIAMS, FRASER Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/VEC.2ACI/3745 Message Board Post: Looking for the McLees family (daughter Jean) and the Williams family who were friends with a British stoker on the HMS Warspite which was in being repaired at Bremerton probably in late 1841, and 1942, possibly as late as early 1943. The Stoker was named TOM FRASER whose nephew also named Tom Fraser in England has about 80 letters from his uncle sent home which speaks of a warm relationship with these two families. It appears that Jean McLees was the steady girl friend of Tom Fraser. The McLees address at that time was 3212 Nassau, Everett WA. Tom was killed on the HMS Redmill April 27, 1945 when his ship was torpedoed. Tom's nephew is now putting all his uncle's letters plus family history into a book and would like to make contact with some living members of the McLees and the Williams families who befriended this British navy man during World War II. His email address is [email protected] or you can contact me at [email protected] He is in England, I am in California. Tom and I share an interest in the crew of the WARSPITE. Betty Clifton
