Notes about James Henry Drewitt Nelhams

Subject: George Nelhams 1893-

Hello Brian.
I have been trying to untangle the various strands of the Nelhams family with some success.
You have this gentleman marrying Mabel Gertrude Shiel in 1923. This is incorrect.
George and his brothers James (1888) and Herbert (1901) all emigrated to Ontario and set up homes there.
The George that married Mabel was born in Southall in 1903, and is my great uncle.
