I am the Granddaughter of Horace Wolfe who was married to Kate Faulkner. They lived in Woking. Horace was the longest serving police officer in Surrey. I beleive he was born in Westerham in Kent and may be related to the famous General Wolfe of Quebec. Horace and Kate had a daughter, Kathleen who was my mother. Family tradition tells of a link to Lingfield and also some link to Canada
