What is the difference between self raising flour and wholemeal self raising flour?

I'm assuming you mean whole grain wheat. Whole grain wheat includes the bran, the germ, as well as the "flour" part of the berry. It is much more nutritious.
Self-rising flour is make from white flour, which is wheat that has had the bran and germ removed. This pretty much leaves dead cellulose, which they then add some chemical vitamins to, and call it "enriched". Then they add some baking powder (often-times, with aluminum in it) and call it "self-rising" flour.
Better to add your own non-aluminum baking powder to your flour.

∙ 13y agoSelf-rising flour consists of all-purpose flour with salt and leavening (baking powder and/or soda.) Wholemeal self-rising flour has whole meal (whole grain or whole wheat) flour instead of all-purpose white flour, along with the salt and leavenings.

Is there a difference in weight between wholemeal and flour?
I think what you're asking is will equal volumes of wholemeal and plain flour weigh the same?: the answer is no. Plain flour is made from wholemeal flour by sifting out all the bran and wheatgerm. It may be ground for longer too, so that it will pass through a finer-meshed sieve. This makes the flour lighter and because the particles are smaller they will pack together more densely. The result is that a cup packed with white flour may weigh more than a cup of wholemeal. You will have noticed that cake recipes often advise you to sift the flour before measuring - this is to counteract the settling effect that causes fine flour to become more compressed (and so weigh more per volume). If the recipe you are using is written using weights rather than volumes you need not concern yourself with the difference in weight and in any case the difference in weight between a cup of plain and a cup of wholemeal flour is minimal and will make no real difference to the recipe. You should note however, if you are making bread, that plain flour may well absorb more liquid than wholemeal. You may notice this effect too if you are using flour grown in your own country bur following a recipe from another nation. You can easily refine wholemeal flour by passing it through a sieve or sifter. This will separate out a good portion of the bran (which can be used in other recipes) and give a lighter and less coarse result in your baking.
