Hi Cathy,
       We were thinking the same thing for awhile. The Edward who married Dora is my grandfather and Dora is my grandmother that much we are sure about. He did serve in the South Wales Borderers and in the CAF in Canada. We have photos of him and the medals he's wearing in the photos show that. There are so many Edward Hadley's that seem to come from the place and time, could be rellies, who knows. But as soon as I can get enough money I'll get more certificates. I have Parkinson's Disease and I'm on a disable pension so it takes time to get them. I was born in London UK myself 30/08/1942. I now live in Australia, came here with my Mum and Dad in 1950. Thank you so much for helping me. your great Cathy. Cheers, Laurie.

Hi Cathy,
   We found Dora there to. That is when she went back to Chatham. My dad Cyril Hadley was born in Chatham November 1919. Dad was 9 when she died so that would be 1928. She had two children with her when she went over to Canada and four when she came back to England. Her eldest Edward did not come back with her. What happened to him we don't know. He could have died in Canada. Dora 11 months old was my auntie Dora. Thank you for helping me Cathy. All the best Laurie.
PS; Was that an English cenus or a Canadian cenus for 1911 Cathy? I think they were still in England then. Laurie

Hi,
  Dora was Mary D B Rush she used her second name as her first name.  Edward was born in Dudley in 1884, his father's name was Edward Hadley to. Edward served with the South Borderers (24 foot) in England from 1902 until 1912, then he went to Canada and then served with Canadian Army in the CAF from 1914 through to the end of WW1 1918. We are also trying to trace what he did from then on.

Hi Karenlee,
     Thank you, I'll go to Free BMD and get a copy of her birth certificate. I have her marrage certificate but all I got from that was her fathers name, Arthur Rush. And trying to find him is not easy.. Thank you Karenlee for your help and all the best for Christmas. Laurie.

Hi Biggles,
       I have been chasing my grandfather Edward Hadley born in 1883 in Dudley UK. He joined the South Wales  Borderers (24th foot) in about 1902 and served with them untill 1912 then he went to Canada and served with the CEF. Do you have any thing on his service with the South Wales Borderers 24th foot? Thank you. Laurie.
