Yvonne Marie Charron (b. 3/10/44) - Keith's newest relative!

Yvonne Marie Charron, where are you? Your dad flew spitfires. You looked just like him when you were born.

Keith had a lot of family in the UK. He met his mother's relatives in Gateshead, and he was close to  his cousin Philip, and Philip's wife, Mary. And he was in the UK when his newest relative arrived.

Letter from Keith to his mother, 9 October 1944.
'I got a letter from Mary this morning & what do you know, she has had a baby daughter I quote, “Yvonne Marie was born on Tuesday evening, the 3^rd October & weighed 8 lbs. She has black hair and blue eyes, like Phillip. She is really lovely, & awful proud mummy.” Unquote. So much for the baby, Phillip is now in Belgium & just a few days after arriving there he bagged ”a F W 190 [Focke-Wulf] ME 109 [Meserschmidt], both in one day, he must really be good. They can’t get in touch with him so he still doesn’t know he’s a proud Poppa. '

Here is what I know about Yvonne Marie Charron (besides the information in Keith's letter). When she was tiny, she and her pretty young mother moved to Canada to live with Philip's parents. Mary eventually remarried, but she and Yvonne always kept in touch with Philip's parents. 

Where was your dad when you were born? Here is a video of a Focke Wulf 190 and a Messerschmitt 109 at Duxford Airfield in 2009.
