History of 26 Glisson Road

1901

C W Hayward

1913

Charles Williams Hayward (died 1920)

Family history note from DT (2020):

My 1st cousin 3 x removed, Charles Williams Hayward lived there from at least 1901 until his death in 1920. It appears his two sisters, Margaret and Mary also lived there with Charles. Margaret died there in 1902 but it seems Mary, who like her sister never married, remained at the address until her death in 1949. A servant,  Nettie Green, also lived at the address with Charles and his sisters from 1901 until Mary’s death and was the recipient of Mary’s estate.

Charles was variously an iron merchant and a commercial traveller. Mary lived by independent means, like her sister Margaret. Prior to living at Glisson Rd the three had lived in Birkenhead, Cheshire and we’re all born in Carlisle, Cumberland, where their father Frederick Williams Hayward had similarly worked as an iron merchant. I believe another member family member descended from Frederick was a metallurgist and was involved in the programme to develop the bouncing bomb that was used in the dam busting air raids of WWII.

Dear Visitor,

Thank you for exploring historical Cambridgeshire! We hope you enjoy your visit and, if you do,  would consider making a donation today.

Capturing Cambridge makes accessible thousands of photos and memories of Cambridge and its surrounding villages and towns. It is run by the Museum of Cambridge which, though 90 years old, is one of the most poorly publicly funded local history museums in the UK. It receives no core funding from local or central government nor from the University of Cambridge.

As a result, we are facing a crisis; we have no financial cushion – unlike many other museums in Cambridge – and are facing the need to drastically cut back our operations which could affect our ability to continue to run and develop this groundbreaking local history website.

If Capturing Cambridge matters to you, then the survival of the Museum of the Cambridge should matter as well. If you won’t support the preservation of your heritage, no-one else will! Your support is critical.

If you love Capturing Cambridge, and you are able to, we’d appreciate your support.

Every donation makes a world of difference.

Thank you,
Roger Lilley, Chair of Trustees
Museum of Cambridge
