I found this on a genealogy forum - does anyone have any knowledge on this chap?

"Could anyone help me find any information on a Mr Birtwhistle - all I know is he was a racing car owner (driver?) and a millionaire - he was my aunt's father even though she was illegitimate her name was Dorothy Gwendoline Pidsley born 1912. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks"

You don't say what part of the world your Birtwhistle was in, Geoff
Mr A Birtwhistle was a pioneer Daimler driver around 1905

Regarding the poser, you know as much as I do - it's just a "copy and paste". I have a suspicion that Dorothy Gwendoline Pidsley was English. Thanks for the mention of the Daimler chap.

EDIT: Sorry, I found the post on a Gloucestershire message board.
