As an amateur historian currently working on a history of the Brecon &
"Dear Graham Hawker,
Abergavenny Canal in South Wales I am always on the lookout for information
on the Dadford family of canal engineers. Periodically I surf the net,
usually without finding anything new. However, today, to my delight I
discovered your Hawker-Rock ... web pages, with the mention of Mary
Dadford. You may be interested to know (and my apologies if you know already) that
you appear to be the great great great great great great grandson of Mary's
father Thomas Dadford Senior, who with his sons did great works in the
Midlands and South Wales. The sons all died, or emigrated to America and died, all apparently without
issue and Mary seems to have been the sole beneficiary under Thomas� will,
of which I have a copy. Mary and Joseph Rock's children have much the christian names I would
expect to see. However, I am surprised there is no Thomas. Also, I have a
note of another child, Frances (Mary's mother's christian name), born in
1809 and baptised at Bloxwich. I can't vouch for the accuracy of this
information. If you would like to know more please get in touch. John Norris."
