He married Maud Henson Musk on 9 September 1912, she was born in Newmarket in 1869 and died in 1961.  Maud was 16 years his senior but outlived him by 8 years. They lived at 2 Wilderness Terrace on the London Road in Harleston, next door to where I spent the first yers of my life.

Hedley ran the family business with Sydney.  He was band master at Pulham during World War I.  He was a keen fisherman.
