Liverpool & South West Lancashire FHS - Forum

This could go into one of several sections of the forum, but it has a Liverpool element, so here goes.
Hugh Donald Wynne was born in North Wales in 1890. He became a Master Mariner in the Mercantile Marine, and during WW1 joined the Royal Naval Reserve. He lost his life when in command of HM Submarine E34 which may have hit a mine off the coast of Holland. His body was found and buried there. His name is on the Llanrwst war memorial and on the Liverpool Town Hall roll of honour.
Hugh was married to Lena M.Goudey (Liverpool 8b, June qr 1915). They lived at 48 Redvers Drive, Orrell Park. No children have been noted, but others may know better.
Lena married again, to Albert D.Holt, regd at Birkenhead, June qr 1919, and a son's birth was registered there, Dec qr 1920: Barwell.H.Holt.
edit to add:
another son was born, Clifford A.Holt, regd Birkenhead Q2 1927.

A contact in the Netherlands has been researching British war graves in his area and is anxious to find out if there are any descendants of either Hugh Wynne or his widow Lena. Any help from our forum members would be most welcome.

Not the best news.... PM sent!

Sorry if our resident "working forward" expert says No Good News, then I suspect we won't come up with any better luck, but if anybody can think of anything I hope that won't stop them trying and posting.

DS came up with some useful stuff, food for thought, if not the open sesame we all hope for!

Just to ask was he awarded the D.S.C?
Anc have a Masters Cert for him 28.5.1917 Glasgow.

Yes, he earned the DSC, although the Liverpool Town Hall roll of honour wrongly shows it as the DSO. He was a master mariner in the merchant service and volunteered for the Royal Naval Reserve in which he lost his life when his submarine was sunk off the Dutch coast.
