bigkris, its been a very long time since your post but I read it and have to correct you, John Badcocks wife was NOT called Lillian but was actually called Dorothy. and yes they did have 7 children and the oldest son was indeed David Badcock.I am able to correct your info because in 1989 at the age of 7 I was placed as a foster child with John and Dorothy Badcock in their home at Radcliffe on Trent at 10 Cropwell road where I grew up and in 1997 John Badcock lost a fight with lung cancer and died. I grew up with this family and referred to them as Aunty Dot and Uncle John. John had been a pilot during the 2nd WW and was born on a farm in Devon in 1920 I believe and ran away from his abusive father to join the RAF when he was 16. I have very fond memories of my time with them both and had a good school and decent upbringing in the village too. I attended Dayncourt school on Glebe lane just off Cropwell Road. His wife Dorothy was also the head dinner lady at my school and also the lollipop lady for the younger school in the village.
