It's a bit unclear what names you have - on the face of it his parents were Morgan/Powell and his surname was Mason??

Couple of possible births if he was born in England or Wales

Births Jun 1912 Mason Daniel Hayler Eastbourne 2b 136



How do you know his parents names please?

do you know where he was born parents siblings etc I visited his grave in june didn't know anything about him till my nan pointed it out

my nan is related to Gladys powel. my nan mum was Gladys sister

You would probably be best buying his marriage certificate to get his father's name and occupation.


I have posted a couple of possible births above but really without even his father's name to go on it would only be guesswork to say which birth, if any, is his.

Daniel married a Powell - see marriage posted above

Looks like his wife re-married

I do think that it is more likely that it was Daniel's wife Caroline who was related to Gladys Powell.


What was your Nan's Mum's name please?




Can you tell us either when Gladys was born or who her parents were please?

I do not know which one is wrong, but the Forest of Dean site has Daniel's age as 24 on his burial record.
