John Haywood ⁵²

  Noted events in his life were:

• Family History: World War II, 1940, Nottingham, England. During the Second World War Jack HAYWOOD, Jim CAULTON, and Samuel WYLD all operated Butcher's Shops in the Bulwell area of Nottingham.
Not only were the customers rationed and have to produce their ration books, but also the shop keepers were "rationed" in the amount of meat they could sell to those customers. Exceeding the regulated quantity could result in fines if caught. Many shop keepers did exceed their limits but were able to avoid detection.
The three butchers, Jack, Jim and Sam all, at various times had excess meat on their premises, and their approach to avoid detection involved moving the meat between each others shops when an inspector was making his inspections.

Jack HAYWOOD was caught later on selling meat he had obtained on the black-market, probably stolen. Jack was prosecuted and recieved a heavy fine.

Jack was also a heavy gambler, but always managed to keep his head above water.

John married Lillian Wyld, daughter of Edwin Wyld and Emma Smith. (Lillian Wyld was born in 1900 in Bulwell, Nottingham, England and was christened on 7 Jan 1900 in Bulwell St Mary's, Nottingham, England ⁵.)
