I am looking to make contact with Edward Nelson, son of Thomas Nelson (born in England circa 1908) or anyone having knowledge of Edward. Note the purpose of my request is for genealogical purposes only since Edward might possibly still be alive.

Thomas Nelson is one of two brothers. He was born in Newburn, Northumberland, England in 1908.Thomas worked on ships as an engineer between 1930 and 1940 and maybe later. I know he emmigrated to America at some time (about 1930's) and may have ended up living in Yukon, Canada. He may have married a lady called Jean.

He has a brother James Mitchell Nelson born 1909 also Newburn, Northumberland. James emmigrated to Welland,Ontario, Canada in 1947. He was married to Elsie Hall when he travelled and I have found relevant information for these two.

Thomas and James parents were Edward Hall and Elizabeth Wilkinson. They were born in Northumberland, England.

(I am aware that there was a famous naturalist working in the 19th century by the name of Edward Nelson. Note that the Edward I wish information on is not connected to this Edward in any way.)
