Hi Keith. No I dont know his first name or anything about him. Even his age at time of death is only an estimate from what family remember my grandfather saying. It would be great to have a name etc........

Yes Surname is Hadley. Fathers Name: David Hadley Mothers Maiden Name: Mary Jane Green He isn't on the 1901 census as he was born after my grandfather who was born in 1904, but there are two other children that are known off born after him. So he was either born in between them or later than 1909 but was about 3-5yrs at time of accident.

You may find his baptism and burial on the parish records, I found a few of mine that were born and died between census that way. I have a relative that died aged 5 who died after drinking boiling water froma tea kettle. Waves to Gerri

I am looking for my Grandfathers Brother. As the story goes is. When the child was about five my Grandfather was playing peek-a-boo and chasing him and he ran into his mother's apron who had just got a rice pudding out of the oven and she spilt it scalding him and he died. I don't know his name or his DOB, all I have been told was that he was perhaps 3-5yrs old. My Grandfather was born in 1904, there were two other children born after him in 1906 and 1909. My grandfather was definately old enough to blame himself for his brothers death as my mum and all of her brothers and sisters say he never got over it. How do I find him, when I have no name and no d.o.b? THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP AND ADVICE RECEIVED THE OTHER EVENING FROM ALL THE GENES FRIENDS. I HAVE FOUND MY GRANDAD'S SIBLING, CONFIRMED AS ALFRED HADLEY. WENT TO THE BIRMINGHAM ARCHIVES AND READ THE CORONERS REPORT, CONFIRMED DEATH FROM SHOCK OF BURNS FROM FALLING INTO THE RICE PUDDING. THIS HAS SOLVED AND CONFIRMED A FAMILY STORY, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY THIS CHILD NOW HAS A NAME. A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO BRENDA FOR THE BRILL INFO SHE GAVE ME.
