Hazell family tree plea


The Press of January 15, 2009, ran an obituary feature on Bertie Hazell CBE, who had died at the age of 101 years after a lifetime of public service.

I have recently been contacted by a member of the Hazell family from Norfolk, who is constructing the Hazell family tree, starting in Suffolk in the early 1800s. This person would like to make contact with Bertie Hazell’s daughter, Mrs Pat Piercy, who is quoted in the obituary.

I wonder if I could ask Mrs Piercy to make contact with me in the first instance, so that I can put them in touch with each other?

My phone number is 01904 760467 and my email is: PJStanhope@aol.com
