Woodrow/Wunderow
Hi, i am trying to find Victor (Chubby) Woodrow, born somewhere around 1920-5 in England, possibly somewhere in the greater london area but not certain. His mother was Ivy Woodrow, daughter of Susan Ann Baughan and Friedrich Wunderow. He spent some time in Dr. Barnados homes i think, and some time living with my grandmother, Milly Page. He also spent time at sea from a young age. The Woodrow family were originally Wunderow and from Germany but changed their name to Woodrow because of the first world war, when Germans living in the UK had a pretty hard time. I understand that Chubby Woodrow, in turn may well have changed his surname since leaving home at an early age(around 16yrs), so have little hope of finding him, but would dearly love to hear from him if he is still alive or any of his family if they know the truth.
