"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?

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, I'm an alien here, because I don't live in Bedlington. Neither did my uncle in 1944. But he did marry a Bedlingtonian girl: Ellen Monaghan. Like me he was a Dutchman. He escaped from Holland during the war and joined the 220 Dutch squadron of the RAF. There he met a WAAF girl. Unfortunately his airplane was hit nine days after their wedding, and he died. Ellen married again several years later, with mr. Arkle. Now I'm working on a book about his life. 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.
