Hadley family

valbern1

proper brummie kid
Hi, Looking for information on the Hadley family,who according to the 1911 census lived at at 5 lime tree terrace,james street aston.Robert the father was a locksmith,his wife Alice,nee Ashton,nee Green.Eldest child Edith,born 1904, son Robert,born1906.The elder Robert,went on to marry a lady in 1917.Dearly love to find out how life treated the 2 children.
 
hi the hadleys was a friend or relatives the mr and mrs jarratt of 2 cromwel square lichfield rd aston ;
they visited each other regular at week ends ; astonian;
 
G day Astonian,thanks for your reply,I am amazed that you can draw up information almost 100yrs old.??.I suppose Cromwell square has now been cleared and built on,and I am sure the Jarrets are long gone.Once again thanks for your help,and I will keep plodding on Valbern1.
 
And welcome to the Forum, valbern1.

Any more information on your query which might interest members? Was this family related to you, perhaps?

I hope you can make further progress on this.

Chris

Hi Chris,thanks for your interest,this Hadley persuit began when my wife asked me to research her side of the family,(that was a mistake!!!)we were quite happy knowing of the family as we then knew it,but to discover the G/father had another family& two children.!!!He had two children by alice ,ne ashton formerly green,you guessed it she was already married----Well I never.!! The father of Edith and Robert, it appears deserted them,and married Lettie Cadwallader in 1917.Her first marriage to Cadwallader ended in early 1917 when he was killed on the Somme,leaving Lettie already pregnant by Robert Hadley.I have no knowledge of what happened to Edith,but her brother Robert ,served in the M.N. until 1923,after which nothing.!! It is quite possible that my wife has relatives somewhere she knows nothing about.!!! Once again Chris thanks for your interest,and I hope the story gives the members (as it did me)a enormous chuckle. regards Valber1.
 
Thanks for that Bren,you are exactly right ,1.about the birth of Edith,and also the double entry of the marriage,obviously a mistake somewhere.I have a feeling that Edith married a Thomas Skidmore,but don`t think she had children,Robert I think married a Elsie Smith in 1935,and I1m not sure about children,maybe he was caught up in the war ,who knows,(and did`nt have time?) Thanks again for your input,if you come up with other knowledge I will be grateful regards Valbern1.
