Not that I'm aware of but to be honest I knew very little about my family on both sides until now. It seems a lot of the Hadleys lived in birmingham, some moved to Devon. Worcestershire and Stafford also feature.

A marriage certificate came through today for John W. Hadley and may johns. They married 8th Nov 1915. John was 21, may 20. Under profession it says ammunition maker. Address of John: back 168 Bloomsbury Street, duddeston. Address for may 2 osbourne place, Aston Brook St, Birmingham. Did a...

Thanks Lyn and if and when you can, its okay

RE matilda masey born 1867.. If matilda mayes/Johns died aged 58 in 1926 that would make her birth year 1868??

I found last night on one of the census's that a portlock lived next door. Think it was the 1939 census 128 bendall rd. And a john W Hadley born in Aston died 1956, his mums maiden name was portlock. Then in 1911 census I think as don't have it to hand, emily portlock married a John W Hadley...

Oh interesting. If his service records exist can you attach a copy? Likewise I can't find a marriage certificate even tho matilda and George's census's says married. Also the 1871, 1881, 1901 census gives birth years from 1866-1869. 1911 census 4 Loxton St, Aston has matilda on it aged 42...

That would be amazing Lyn if you were able. I've come to a bit of a halt with matilda and if you're able to see/get the records I would be so grateful.

Maybe if someone is ever going to birmingham archives library the wolfson Centre, to look at their own family history, they could take a look at the reference information I provided for matilda so I can move forward.

You would think so but nope they won't.

Can't afford it to be honest. The bits I do know someone kindly found out for me. A week ago I was looking for a long lost relative and despite looking for years they found him in a few days!! Now wanting to know my history but matilda is getting me stuck lol

East Sussex a long way away!!

Just spoke to birmingham library archives. Records for matilda do exist with the national/birmingham archives I think including parent details, length of detention, age etc and discharge book. But not digitised. Ms994/14 and ms994/23. Is there any way to view these or get a copy without...

She is elusive for sure lyn. I did find an ada mayes and Edith I think but could be unrelated oh and a Frances mayes who went to India, in the military. I did wonder if Frances could have had matilda but gave her up due to her job taking her overseas

Does it say what age George was when he died? Trying to find anything on matilda is hard. Just 1871 and the following census for those homes/schools. She was 3 when at gem Street Industrial School. No idea what caused her to be there or any parent info yet.

Interesting because I couldn't find a marriage cert for George Johns and matilda mayes. I did contact Birmingham archives but they won't help with looking matildas records up. They are saying I either visit which is several hundred miles away or pay a researcher which I can't afford currently...

Thank you for this. We were wondering if John W. Hadleys dad was also John William Hadley and his mother Emily Portlock if this is the case then his birth was registered in Mar Qtr 1894 at Aston so he would have been born on the 06/12/1893rather than 1892. Thanks so much for your help. Really...

Perhaps lost in the war?

That's what I was planning lol

I know on a census John W Hadley was born 6th Dec 1892. May 3rd Feb either 1896 or 1898
