I lost my father aged 11, and both his mum and dad by 18. I didnt know anything other than my nan talking about great nanny Strickland , but I remembered alot of DADSONS around growing up. My mum told me my great nan was ISABELLA from what she remembered, so I did some searching and put two and two together , she was ISABELLA DADSON.

I also remembered an Uncle Ernest , so I found some ERNEST DADSON in the search feature and saw also alot of names from my childhood , One being ISABELLA DADSON all in the same area my nan and dad grew up.
I contacted Leslie and he kindly shared his tree.
I havnt put everyone on yet, but am so happy to finally have an idea of my desendants.

I couldnt be more grateful to Leslie and all his help.
