Norman Caddy

Norman was born on January 18th, 1907 in Whitehaven.¹

Birth Notes
- Probably not born in Cheshire. Can only find 2 in the whole of the country after 1880:
  
  Births Mar 1907 CADDY Norman Whitehaven 10b 715
  Births Jun 1910 CADDY Norman Stoke T 6b 22_
  
  The first one matches up with the DOB on the death record, so this must be him (and confirmed by his grandson Mark):

He died at the age of 69 in 1976 in Birkenhead.¹

Death Notes
- Died a long time before Edith. Probably died in Heswall.

General Notes
- If Norman married Edith when he was 57, then he had probably been married before. Ancestry family trees have the same Norman Caddy married to Jane Stephenson (b.1901). Records confirm this is an earlier marriage, but here are no records for Jane's death, so maybe divorced.
  
  If she did divorce, then there is another marriage for Jane Caddy, and its in Cockermouth, so most probably her. Se married William B Messenger in 1975.
  
  The same tree has Norman's mother as Lucy (b.1882).
