If anyone is researching this family I have come accross a hand written 'History' written in 1831 and with an addition written just after WW1
The notes refer to family tombs in the church of Edale near Castleton in Derby.
If this interests you please let me know.

I believe I may have a family connection to the Hadfield family.
My great grandfather Joseph Wyatt bC1842 Glossop,married 1883 Martha Garlick Hadfield.Several generations including my mother had Hadfield as a middle name.
Betty Wyatt b1799,married 1820 Thomas Hadfield.
I believe Martha Garlick Hadfield b1838 Glossop,was a daughter of a Thomas Hadfield and Mary Robinson although Thomas may have had a previous marriage to a Sarah Garlick.
I am interested in the notes you have.

Hello,
I've looked through the handwritten book that I have and I'm afraid that I can't find either a Martha Garlick Hadfield or a Thomas Hadfield.
Part of the notes seem to have been written by Jos Hadfield 16th August 1759 to 1852 in 1831.
The supplementary notes are by C.A Hadfield. It includes references to a Hadfield who lived in Derbyshire and who married a lady from the Hinchcliff family of Yorkshire.
There is also a Charles Joseph Hadfield who was in the Royal Marines Light Infantry and served in the Crimean War.
Also a John MacKenzie hadfield 1889-1914 who was in the South Lancashire Regiment.
I hope this may help you and others with possibly confirming any links to the Hadfield family.

There was a strong Hadfield/Hatfield presence in the Chesterfield area. My line - most of them called Godfrey - go back to the late 1600's in that town.

Thank you Bee80.
I am looking for James Wyatt also who may have come from Chesterfield.
There is an IGI entry C035863 11.12.1767 for James Wyatt son of Mary.When James died in 1840 Glossop he was aged 73,so the dates fit.I need to further verify.
The Hadfield name is strongly connected to the Wyatts.
-
To Lazarus.
I do not recall the name WYATT in connection with my Hadfield's but have not investigated all the side branches. I think I established some years ago through other researcers that there is only a very small chance of the Glossop and north Derbyshire branches being related. My tree is on GenesReunited if you belong.
May I get back to you - I am going to be away for about eight weeks with no internet contact ?

Many thanks Eileen. I am not in anyway I know of related to the Hadfield family.
The book would be of especial interest to a living descendant of the family and these are the names of those I believe to be the descendants of Charles Joseph Hadfield who died in 1914 after being wounded at Mons, and who were alive at the time the book was updated:-
Frederick Howe, Charles Arthur (may have died in 1938),Herbert Charles, Emily Octavia, Annie Isobel.
I would like to hear from any Hadfield familky member who would like this family document.
-
I have a friend living locally who is a Hadfield from that area. I will ask him to have a look at this thread in case he is connected.
Will be back and let you know!
Best wishes

Thanks Angela.
Apologies to everyone for the size of the picture I uploaded. I didn't realise it would come up so big!
On reflection I think I should also ask for whoever receives this book to provide some form of proof of being a family member as I would like it to become a family item and be preserved for future descendants.

A friend who has Hadfield family interests suggests that "Hadfield Ventnor" could be the family of Octavius Hadfield who became a Bishop in New Zealand.A Google search produces information regarding Octavius Hadfield.
I hope this helps.

Thanks Lazarus - Perhaps there may still be descendants in the UK who will make contact?

This notebook has now been sent to Graham Hadfield who contacted me via this site.
I hope the Hadfield family will find it both interesting and a valuable family heirloom.

Could the Graham Hadfield who recived the book shown on this thread please make contact with me in NZ. I am a desndent of Joseph & Octavius Hadfield (Bonchurch & Ventnor I would be interested if there is any relevant info in the book. The Misses Hadfiled who taught in Ventor were sisters of Octavius.

As mentioned on this thread, http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=263812.new;topicseen#new, when I received the book I scanned it and put the scans on a CD which I sent to David Hadfield in Australia who runs a free web site dedicated to publishing details of various Hadfield lines - http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hadfield/.
David transcribed the book, keeping faith with the way it was originally written (i.e. as one would with a MI) and, at the time, offered to send a copy of the transcript to people who contacted him. David has since moved address so I don't know if he is still in a position to send copies. However, I have a PDF copy of the transcript and will happily send it to anyone who contacts me by PM with their e-mail address.

It's really good to know that this book has been so helpful to members of the Hadfield family. I just salvaged it from some items which were being disposed of from a solicitors office as I just thought it could be of interest to people. :)
-
Thanks Graham & Doverrog.
I would love a copy of the notes. My email is (*) I am also interested in hearing from any descendents of the John Hadfield of Edale who took in a preacher and subsequently built a chapel, where ,I believe, a church now stands. Most of the family appear to have moved to the Manchester area, and were in silk. My GGG grandfather, Joseph, wrote a book An Englishman in America telling of his travels collecting debt for the family business. He and his wife Amelia are buried in Ventor (IoW) and his father John at St Boniface in Bonchurch )IoW). John & Joseph appear frequently in our lineage back to Edale and without looking up the family tree I think that the first John was born in 1642.

Andrea contacted me by e-mail a few days ago so I was able to send her a copy of the document.

Looking back along my family tree I found a William Roworth 1712-1776 married to Elizabeth Hadfield 1712-1774 from the Hope Valley, would appreciate any information regarding Hadfields of Castleton.

I would be happy just to view content of the notebook if possible.It may contain proof of our relative connection to Octavius Hadfield Bishop of New Zealand
Thank You.

I am unable to make contact with David Hadfield for a copy of the Hadfield Family Notebook and I am hoping you can help me to fill in some missing gaps in our family Tree.All the best. Deane Hadfield Napier New Zealand.

Wow.
After a fair time has elapsed since I found the book in a pile of items about to be thrown away by a London solicitor, I'm really pleased that the Hadfield family has been able to link it back into their families.
It makes you wonder how many other valuable items get simply discarded when they could be of so much value to family historians. :(
-
Through lack of time I haven't the opportunity to pursue my research much these days and, as a result, haven't been on Rootschat for a good while.
I still have the transcript safely filed away though and have sent a PDF copy to Deane just now.
So, that chance find all those years ago is still going strong Roger :)

Hi, I am researching my family tree and it goes back as far as a Joseph Hadfield of Castleton, but no further. He was married to a Dorothy Hadfield.
We have always been in this area of the peaks so I suspect there may be some useful information in the hand written account of the family.
We are under the line of Robert Hadfield via Issac, does this ring any bells in the text?

In view of the fact that interest in the notebook has re-emerged, but David is no longer able to supply transcripts, I have created a page on my own web site which displays the scanned images of the original book with a link to the PDF transcript for download.
The address of the page is http://www.gjh.me.uk/edale/edale.htm
Hopefully people will find it useful.

Hi Marzarhad
I've recently started researching my family tree and can also trace back to Joseph Hadfield of Castleton b.1760 married to Dorothy. Then down thru sons Robert to Isaac to Joe (my GG) who married Sarah.
