Ok, I see her tree on Ancestry. You may have more luck if you look at her Bastock relatives.

Your common ancestors are Walter Hadland and Maud(e) Eleanor Grubb.

These were the parents of Walter Leonard Hadland 1922 in your opening post.

However, she is descended from Walter Leonard's brother, Hubert.

I'm now hoping you can work out her parents. Please don't post anymore details- if you are still not sure, please send me a private message.

EDIT: I have pm'd you further details

Angela- where is Dawn's tree?

I will just have to go searching or leave it for now, many thanks x

She told me ages ago who her granddad is, he is on our trees

There's no hadland / batty births from 1939 until after the 1944 marriage then only the two births

Why not get the birth cert. it's over 50 years old so can be got with the gro ref

Puzzled how you know her grandfather is Walter Hadland

Not seeing a marriage Hadland/Bastock

I agree totally rootgatherer.

I'm still unclear how Angela knows the Grandchildren of Walter but not the parents

Well, can you blame her? As family history researchers we should respect the sensitivity of information on ALL living people. If living people would prefer that we did not include them on our trees that is their choice and should be respected.

Well the daughter married in 1964 and is on the electoral rolls with her husband

she will not give out info on living relatives

This looks to be Eileen in 1939- Single, no children with her

Batty Household 8 Lime Avenue , Royal Leamington Spa M.B., Warwickshire, England

William A U Batty 15 Apr 1900 Male Carriage Cleaner L M S Railway Married
Dorothy J Batty 05 Sep 1900 Female Unpaid Domestic Duties Married
Eileen M Hadland (Batty) 28 Feb 1922 Female Machine Knitter V A H Under Single
Peter J Batty 24 Nov 1927 Male At School Single

the hadlands are a huge family we are distant cousins

There seems to be a possible brother for Dawn born 1964?

Angela- I'm finding this a little confusing. If you don't know who Dawn's parents are, how do you know she is related to your Grandmother's family?

Dawn is the granddaughter of walter hadland b/1922

through the hadland family thy are my dads family through his mother, she does not give much away

But have you spoken to Dawn? She has Facebook & Twitter accounts.

How are you connected to Dawn?

yes they are, so it is a puzzle I found the sister of Geoffery Leonard hadland, she is Jennifer born 1946, Dawns mother is a bastock, but I can't find further than there at the moment, anyway I wonder if there was a younger brother before geoffery somewhere born between 1935 & 1940

I'm unclear where Dawn comes into this? If you are trying to trace her parents- have you tried asking her?

Walter & Eileen married in 1944. The two children were born in 1945 & 1946- a little young to be parent of Dawn!

Hi Shirley, one of the children could be the father of a Dawn P Hadland born 1961, her mother Bastock, it is a right puzzle is this one, I am searching as well myself
