I don't know if most of those Cadogans fit in the family tree of not. The 1904 marriage for Alec abd Bess in Cardiff is the correct one. Aunt Katie was born in Cardiff in '08 -\- she's really Catherine. Uncle Alec was also born in Cardiff, but his home place was Guy Hall in Awre.

From the 1980s research the Cadogan line is just a direct line from Alec back and they were all in the Forest, generally. Awre. The WW1 records I believe are his, although he re enlisted in Canada. He served in the Boer war as well.

The 1911 census entry for Box Tree Cottage is correct as well . . .

Alec and Bess settled in Woodstock Ontario. After Pa and Uncle Alec enlisted Aunt Bess took her own two children, and some other child with family in the Forest and returned to Blakeney where she stayed until 1919 or 1920 when sh e returned to Woodstock.

One thing that's proved helpful is that my mother, Aunts and Uncles spoke of these folks as if they h ad just left the room even though some of them had been gone for more than 50 years before I was born.
