Your message has appeared on the Caddy mailing list, so I am sending this
answer there, as well as to you.
Edward Arthur Caddy (known as Ted) was born on the 9th July 1906 at Totton.
He was the son of William George, son of Frederick, son of Benjamin, son
of John, son of David, who was born about 1744 at Piddlehinton. He married
Thelma Honora Cotton on the 5th August 1932 at Southampton and died on the
1st November 1976 at New Milton.
I have been in contact with his son from time to time, though I am not sure
of his current whereabouts, as I believe that he was about to move when we
last exchanged messages.
I see that one Thelma H. Caddy married a man named Horton in the New Forest
District in the last quarter of 1978, so I presume that this was a
remarriage of Edward's widow.
If you would care to let me know your connexion, I shall try to track down
the son (presuming that he has not started to subscribe to this list) and
let him know of your interest. I have in any event a fair amount of
information on other issue of David Caddy of Piddlehinton, and shall be
interested to learn if further research sheds light on his forebears.
