**GADD FAMILY**
« on: Friday 13 April 07 13:40 BST (UK) »
Hello

I am researching my family and i have got some information on my nans family who lived in harper hey, Manchester, and i was wondering if anyone had more information on them. I dont know what my great grandfathers name is, although his last name is GADD. He was born in around 1895-1905 but i am not exactly sure what date. He married EMILY CUTLER who is also believed to have been born around the turn of the century.

They had 5 children, WILLIAM- who was killed in service in Monte Casino, July 1944(see armed forces, labelled MONTE CASINO), Violet, who lives in Manchester, I believe, Joyce (who is my nan) and her twin sister Rose(deceased) and Walter. this is all i know about my nans family.

I would be very grateful if anyone has any information.

Thanks

Marriage December quarter 1922

any idea when Robert or Emily died? It would give us their age at death or even a birthdate  :)

I can really see only one candidate:

1901
RG13/3755 112 5
Manchester
5 Barlow St
Gadd William, head, 39, Beerhouse Keeper
Frances, wife, 37
Ada, dau, 18, Leather Bag Maker
Emma, dau, 16, ditto
Ethel, dau, 13
Robert, son, 6
Walter, son, 2 mo

All born Manchester.

Do any of the names ring a bell?

Otherwise the Gadd/Cutler marriage cert would give you their father's names.
