Today’s discoveries were centered around William Hadfield, born 1856, Spinkhill, Renishaw, Derbyshire. William’s parents were John Hadfield and Mary Hobson. William married Mary E. Lingard who was born 1863, Stavely, Derbyshire. They had eight children: Ernest Hobson Hadfield born 1883, Ethel Grayson Hadfield born 1884, Mary Beatrice Hadfield born 1886, Alice Maria Hadfield born 1889, Gertrude Annie Hadfield born 1890, Arthur Reginald Hadfield born 1895, Gladys May Hadfield born 1897 and Frederick William Hadfield born 1899. I believe I have identified marriages for Ernest Hobson Hadfield to Florence Clayton Kirk in 1904; Ethel Grayson Hadfield to Peter Watt Yule in 1910; and, Gertrude Annie Hadfield to Harry Allsopp in 1912. I also identified Arthur Reginald Hadfield’s military record for World War I. He signed up in 1916 and served in the Tank Corps.
