I am seeking information regarding JOHN HAZLEWOOD (1830-1904) who married CATHERINE WAIN (1831-1897), living in DERBY area. They married in Belper in 1861.
See also GEORGE famly.
The Hazlewood's headed by John (born about 1830 in Soham, Cambridgeshire) & Catherine (born in 1831, formerly CATHERINE WAIN) had a son called Arthur in 1865 & daughters Mary 1868 & Catherine 1870. Thomas William GEORGE & John HAZLEWOOD both worked on the railways, as did John's son Arthur.
I am fairly sure that Sophia George (Thomas's wife born in Soham in 1919) & John Hazlewood were brother & sister, (both children of John & Mary Hazlewood of Soham, Cambs. John Snr was a Gamekeeper & Hawker, the family moved to Stoke Damarel where John Snr died. Unfortunately I have not been able to prove the connection yet.
By the 1901 census Catherine Hazlewood had died (1897) and John Hazlewood (now age 70) was living with his son , Arthur, Arthur's wife - Mary J Hazlewood (formerly Mary J BOOTH) and their daughter, Gertrude M Hazlewood born in 1897 in Derby.
