SJW 0 Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 I was wondering if anyone can help me track down a lost relative whose folks use to live in Pyatt Street. His name was John Minta Hadlow and his father use to work on the railways and local transport.Contact was lost years ago and now, with the passing of time, there is a strong desire to close the gap so to speak.

Jill Sparrow 10,269 Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 I've found a John Minter Hadlow born 31.1.1927 in Nottingham who died in 1979 in Bishops Stortford. Probably not what you want to hear but could be the same person. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,869 Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Would this be Pyatt Street in the Meadows? How old would John be now? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,269 Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 This person would now be 90 years old. To find out where they were born, you'd need to see their birth certificate which family history sites don't provide. His mother's maiden name was Minter. Do you know what his parents first names were? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,269 Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 On a brief search, I have found the following information. John M Hadlow's parents were Louis Hadlow born in 1896 and died in 1962 in Nottingham. Lillian M Minter born on the 1st of January 1895 and died in 1980 in Nottingham. They were married in 1926 in Nottingham and John M Hadlow, born in 1927, would appear to be the only child of the marriage. I can find no record of a marriage for John M Hadlow but of course you have to remember that absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Hope this might fit with the people you remember. Cliff Ton might be able to find an entry in one of the street directories to shed some light on where this family lived. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jill Sparrow 10,269 Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Certainly looks like the family SJW is trying to trace. Since John doesn't appear to have married, there are not likely to be any descendants who would easily be tracked down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
annswabey 599 Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 The John Minter Hadlow who died in 1979 lived in Sawbridgeworth, Herts. He left a Will - might be worth getting a copy, with a view to contacting the beneficiaries, to find out more about him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
