[David_Hayward (RIP)]

b Hampton, Middlesex, 1955. We lived in Feltham to 1965 then Hounslow West, and my parents are still there about a 1/2 mile from the old family home. I don't know if there is anyone from Harrow on my grandfather's side...Ernest Edward Thomas Hayward, d. 1977?...eldest of 13..., and I think some of his brothers' family lived in Harrow. Grandad was in the Admiralty during the war, in charge of staffing ships. His daughter Stella. who died recently, was in the War Office and was involved with invasion plans and therefore sworn to secrecy.

Do you think that your family is related then? I think the Haywards came from Paddington, before Grandad married in 1916 and then eventually moved to Heston by 1928. Grandad's father came from Stowmarket, Suffolk, around 1900 and became a hansome cab driver, then in 1908 a motor taxi driver.
