so John did work for the Syned family
Thamks for that info really helped.

Great news - but note that Bradwell Hall and Chatterley Hall seem to have been two different halls, a mile or so apart, with Bradwell at the top of the hill and Chatterley down in the valley.  Bradwell Hall seems to be a care home now.

Hi BoslemBoy
I managed to get a picture of both halls & a plan of the woods too. Both John & his father were gamekeepers. So pleased I fund the newspaper article although haven't got the full transcript bt dn't think that would tell me much more and Ioy wanted to find out who John worked for.
