Runje - if your mother was one of the two daughters of Major Hadden W Todd, then you and I are fifth cousins.  I can trace these Haddens back to William H, d.1754, and the Todds only back to Joseph T, father of Thomas T, 1804-1868.  So perhaps quite a bit of info to share, maybe too much to do on the list ?? - I can usually be found at rootsweb(dot)only(Atte)virgin[net]

Maj. Hadden Royden Todd was my Grandfather - my Mother's father.
What's your interest?

I AM INTERESTED IN SPEAKING TO YOU RUNJE!!  I have been doing some work for a friend of mine, who found a letter in a second hand book.  It was from Evelyn Mary Todd nee Royden- who appears to be Hadden Royden Todd's mother. 
We're based in Liverpool. And it would be really great to find some living relatives of Evelyn.

Officers are well documented in war diaries so I would be pretty certain to say that his death is more thank likely recorded in the units war diary at the National Archives in London
