Haha too much to take in on a Friday Paul - not only do I discover that I am part Dingle (Brummie term for Black Country folk) but I'm also related to a branch of the Peaky Blinders :)

Will be over at my parents this weekend I'll raid their archives see if there are any documents or photos of Clara and George.

Hi Sparkym & welcome to Rootschat. 

Seems its a small world!

pollux83 is offline at the moment but I'm sure she'll be delighted to hear from you - especially if you can shed some light on Ellen's mother  ;D
Thanks, I've already briefed my mum and asked her to dig out Nans birth certificate see what comes up on there. As we know little about the Hawkers this is really exciting discovery for us.

I am really interested to see if we have any military connections - Nanused to say that we were somehow linked to Hawker aircraft ltd that designed the Battle of Britain planes but I've never followed it up.
