Norman Caddy & Edith (Boodie) Mary Hopwood

Personal Details

• 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):
