Siblings born 1945-1952

Posted by Nancy Hulett Bright on 24/9/2024, 8:10 pm

Am searching for brothers born 1945-1952, father US Army George E. Hulett. Possible twins, mother's name possible Margaret, the daughter of a well known physician. Met during the Slapton Sands raid of April 1944, he was a physician and she was a nurse. Article published in the Slapton Sands Newspaper pre:1999.
Can anyone help me locate these siblings? Their grandfather was still live, possible living in London 1985 and my father spoke to him. Boys were adopted by step father who was also a physician. My father wasn't aware of the children until he returned to Arkansas. Please assist me any way you can.

I think we need a bid more info, date of birth of George E Hulett, what was the name of the grandfather? am assuming it was his wifes father.
I found one possible marriage but it is a different spelling, a George Hewlett married Margaret Bowld in 1850 North Cotswolds registration area (Gloucestershire/Worcester borders?) she would have been about 18 in 1944.
How was George related to your father?

Judith, My father was born 1924 in AR. I am looking for 2 brothers that were born in Europe while he was stationed there 1944-1946, 1949-1952.
I think their mother's name may be Margaret. Her father was a physician and they lived in and around London.
When Slapton Sands was bombarded April 1944, my dad was there and may have met her. She may have helped her dad and the British Medics treating the wounded soldiers. I remember dad saying, he slipped out of his area, which was separate from the British. He was in the US Army....

No, George was born 1924....the children were born in Europe during his years in the US Army....1944-1953
Their grandfather was still alive in 1982, my dad called him and requested his daughter, who is the mother to my brothers, to contact him. The family were fairly well off, the butler had been taking the earlier phone calls, but this time, the grandfather was there and took the call. He knew my dad, and the fact, his is the father of the boys.
My dad, said the boys know they are adopted by their stepfather. I was hoping for a DNA to pop up but so far, I haven't made a connection

Suggest you get a copy of his service records, they should show where and when he was stationed, which might help you a bit more.

Judith, He was on the beaches of Normandy...after DDAY training at Slapton Sands....then he left England December 1946, headed back to the US from London.
He returned in 1949 To Germany, where he was stationed until 1953...
