Halifax B MkIII LW692 PT V - Excavations and Crew

Good evening,

I have traced the history of the Halifax B MkIII.
I managed to find the crash site.
We received permission from the Direction régionale des Affaires culturelles de Normandie to excavate to a depth of 30 cm.
We managed to find a number of parts of the plane.
We would need help to identify them.
Could we have the support of members of the forum ?

I have managed to find 5 families out of the 7 crew members.
I still have to find :
- Warren, Alfred 25, RAF, Flight Sergeant
Navigator
176005
Married
Missing in action
Runnymede Memorial, Englefield Green, Egham, Surrey, England

- Wheelhouse, Clifford James, 21, RAFVR, Sergeant
Radio Operator and Machine Gunner
175807
Single
Killed in action
Saint-Riquier-ès-Plains Cemetery, France
Grandcourt Military Cemetery, France

Thank you in advance for your help.
Francois

Sergt C J Wheelhouse was from Stockton-on-Tees and lived at 28 Devonshire Street, he worked for Post Office Savings Bank. I believe that he was the only child.

Thank you for your information.

The ones I have about Whelhouse Clifford James.

He had 1 brother and 2 sisters.
- Dennis born in 1914
- Elinda born in 1917 and died in 1978
- Lorna C born in 1919

Lorna married Richardson John L

Elinda married Bernard Watson
From this union was born a son in 1945 : Watson Clive J
He married Glazebrook Janet M

So I'm looking to find the last two people... if anyone has access to an English genealogy service for example.

Yours sincerely,
Francois
