His father was James Henry Witchell b. 1884 Hong Kong a full write up about him can be found under Hong Kong's First by Rudi Butt.His mother was Mabel (nee Goodfellow). Dorothy Audrey was his sister who went by the name Audrey (typical Witchell practice)She was b. 1914 in Saigon. They had 2 other children : Cecil James Witchell b. 1911 Saigon and Percy Witchell b.1912 Saigon.
