Letters / Can you help tracing the Winton family?

My mother’s first husband was Lieutenant Thomas Stanley Winton RNVR. He was torpedoed and lost during March 1943 while on convoy duty in the Atlantic.

He had a brother Robbie who had a farm in Shetland in the fifties; Robbie had a daughter possibly Valerie, who moved to the mainland possibly married name ‘Irvine’.

I lost all trace, and any link or help in tracing the family would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
