Samuel Haywood - Johannesburg Police
« on: Tuesday 28 April 20 11:57 BST (UK) »
Hello - would be grateful if anyone could help me find more info. about my relative Samuel Haywood.  He was born in Preston, Lancashire in 1862 and married my great aunt Jane Steadman.  He served in the 15th Hussars and as a Policeman in England.  Have found his attestation papers for 1900 when he signs up for the 66th Coy Imperial Yeomanry and is posted to SA.   His papers state he was discharged at his own request on 27.3.1901 but a note just before that says To Police Pte 1.2.01.  It also states his intended place of residence as Johannesburg Police.  I can find no record of him, his wife Jane or their adopted son Edward C Dunning (Jane's sister's child) after this so would love to find out if he/they moved to SA permanently.  Thank you for reading this - any help would be appreciated.  Regards Sue

Hello - thank you so much for this.  I have been searching for them for ages - just by chance came across the attestation paper which led me to SA.  Also found Jane's death in SA. Just need to try to find out what happened to Edward now. He was born Edward C Dunning in 1894 in Ohio to Jane's sister.  She sadly died and Edward and one of his siblings were brought back to England - one remained in the States.  Their father then sadly died just a couple of years later. Edward was ''adopted'' by Jane and Samuel and his sister by another of Jane's sisters.  Still called Dunning on 1901 census but don't know if he changed his name to Haywood at all - is it possible to see if he went with Jane to SA and what happened after that?  I will keep searching but am grateful for any help.  Regards Sue
