Robert Hill Ady was born in 1800 but where? Sometime later he married a Mary Riddett(Not sure of the spelling) and they had several children. A draper called Fredrick was his son and my ancester and his son, Clarence was my grandfather. He owned the East London Gazette.

His children were Elsie, Gwen, kathleen, Hilda who worked for Colin Cowdry, the cricketer, as a personal assistant. Olive, the youngest is still alive and my father was the only son Clifford John. There are numerous offspring on Olive's.

My Father Clifford married Winifred Course whose line goes very far back, through Kings, Barons and Welsh chieftens pre the birth of Christ. She is also the daughter of an Attwood who were a very respected family going back to the Gaunts and French kings and had a family member in parliament for 500 years.But where did Robert start, he seems to have come out of the blue?
