My father Henry Wilkinson Valentine Buckler ,born Newport, South Wales on February 14, 1904(hence the name Valentine) with surname of Lyons.His mother Dolly Wilkinson divorced and remarried a Buckler and my father's name was changed from Lyons to Buckler by deed poll.I cannot recall the given name of my Grandfather Buckler but heplayed at one time rugby for Cardiff(a famous rugby club at the time) and I believe he also played rugby for Wales so my mother said but I can't confirm this.Either he, or his father was also a famous long distance walker having walked from one end of a county to another in an astounding time.
My father had 5 brothers and sisters some of whom were half brothers and sisters.
The sister was named Nancy, and his half brother was Jack who was killed when tha Airliner he was piloting crashed just before W.W.II.His other siblings moved to Australia and Capetown S. Africa
My aunt Nancy lived in Wimbledon London after the war.
Even though I'm a buckler because my father was adopted by a Buckler I do have a great interest in the unusual name of Buckler and the remote possibility of finding a distant relative some day.
I emmigrated to New York City fro the UK several years ago.
