Weetman Harry

[LINDA B]

Hello Forum
A family member has tonight told us that we may be related to HARRY WEETMAN the professional golfer. Would anyone be able to find out what his parents names were or provide any information on where he was born.
Looking forward to Sundays outing
Linda and Angela
