Looking for my Uncle - Walter, Chodacki

Can you help put the pieces of this puzzle together and help an expat from NY possibly find family in the Morecambe area? Visit this message in the forums, to help out…

Original message:

Hello my name is Chris and I live in NY. (USA)
The picture is a photo of my uncle and his wife and child. Back of the photo says 5/9/1959, Morecambe. and watermark says ilford. This is all I know about him and the fact that he moved from Poland to England. My mom now 87 does not remember more. He only wrote once or twice . He could have been just visiting as I see Morecambe to be by the shore or he actually lived there. His name was Walter(possibly used a Polish version) Chodacki (now deceased).  Maybe someone here might recognize or know of his family. I imagine the children might be close to my age (62). Possibly a bit younger. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also have a photo of his funeral that was sent to us. Maybe someone might recognize the church.  Also another photo on the back says BJ Clegg, Buttermere, Morecambe, Proof Only. Was there a photography shop by that name maybe. Please contact me at cconway at frontiernet dot net  Thank you.
