The line of the family that this site follows is shown below, resulting in three important lines, easily described as:
The Nottingham Haycrafts,
The Davis line
The Dibdin line.

Edith Haycraft is of particular interest as she moved to Saltburn and ran a School, the Towers. When her sister, Cecily, died tragically in a plane crash in 1933, she took in Joan Dibdin, acting as her guardian.

The Article above regarding Lionel and Cecily is the start of at very significant narrative within the lives of Joan and Peter Dibdin their surviving offspring. The Haycraft family played an important part in Joan's life from the a young age through to the time she was orphaned  and on into the World War 2 period and beyond. Many aspects of relation between and her Haycraft Aunts and her well loved cousins in Nottingham are explored in the Book "The Three Generations of the Dibdins" and the Sequel "Three Lives in World War 2"
