GEORGE or HAZLEWOOD - Derby
I am seeking details of the GEORGE or HAZLEWOOD families that lived in the Litchurch area of Derby around the mid 1800's. The George family were headed by Thomas William (born about 1813 in Worcester)& Sophia George (formerly Hazlewood born in Soham in 1817) & had 8 children Sophia born 1837, Ellen Mary 1842, John Clement 1846, Clement Thomas 1850, Agnes 1851, Eliza 1853, Emily Fanny 1854 and Rosa Sophia 1859.

Thomas & John both worked on the railways. I am fairly sure that Sophia George & John Hazlewood were brother & sister, but have not been able to prove it yet. By the 1901 census Cath had died and John was living with his son , Arthur, Arthurs wife - Mary J and the granddaughter Gertrude M Hazlewood born in 1897 in Derby.

Claydon, Clayden, Clayton - Derby - Derby
My grandfather, Daniel Clayton (1903-1949) and his brother James Claydon (1898-?) were transported aboard the SS Corsican in 1913 from Liverpool to Quebec, Canada as part of the child emigration scheme of the time. From Quebec, they were taken to Ottawa, Ontario, and Daniel was ultimately sent to a farm in Tecumseh, Essex, Ontario. They were sponsored for the voyage from England by the Catholic Emigration Society. I believe that they had been in the Father Hudson Home in Coleshill, Birmingham before being sent to Canada. In Canada, James signed up to serve during WWI in the Canadian Over-Seas Expeditionary Force, and on his attestation paper, he listed his place of birth as Derby, England, and his full name as James Anthony Claydon. My grandfather was Daniel George Clayton. He seems to have used the Claydon spelling until about the time he married my grandmother, then started using Clayton, which is how my family spells it today. I've been looking for clues as to Daniel and James' origins, parentage, etc., but haven't been able to find anything yet. I'd be very grateful for any information, ideas, or tips, as I'm new to UK research. Thanks!
