Dora taught him both letters and Latin, and he later said that she "brought me up". Hector was by far the youngest child of the family, and had a very close relationship with his sister. Edward ended his career as Rural Dean of Dewsbury, and his two oldest sons also joined the priesthood of the Church of England. It was during this time that the Chadwicks had their three remaining children, Dora, Murray, and then Hector.
The Bibbys built a church for Edward in the suburbs of Thornhill Lees, where he became Vicar. Shortly afterwards, the family moved to Thornhill Lees, Yorkshire, where Edward Chadwick senior became a close friend to a member of the Bibby family, which owned the Bibby Line. After finally marrying, Edward and Sarah spent their early years at Blue Pits, where their eldest son Edward was born. The marriage was subsequently postponed for a while. Sarah's mother died on the day Sarah was to marry Edward Chadwick, allegedly heartbroken over the prospect of losing contact with her daughter. Sarah's father retired early from business and became a farmer at Old Trafford. Her cousin, Captain Chadwick, had served with distinction in the Crimean War. Her grandfather was a member of the same business. Sarah was the only daughter and one of eight children of an Oldham businessman of considerable prominence. Įdward Chadwick was educated at St John's College, Cambridge, and met Sarah while he was Curate at Church of St George, Chester Road, Hulme. The firm had a branch in Edinburgh, and it was there that James married Sarah Murray, daughter of George Murray and Margaret Munro, who was probably a sister of General Hector Munro. John and his sons were all members of the firm of John Chadwick & Sons, who were flannel manufacturers in Rochdale. Edward was the seventh of the eight sons of James Chadwick, who in turn was a son of yet another John Chadwick. The Chadwick family traced its descent from John Chadwick of Chadwick Hall, Rochdale, who flourished during the reign of Elizabeth I.
On 22 October 1870, Hector Munro Chadwick was born in Thornhill Lees, Yorkshire, England, the third son of Reverend Edward Chadwick and Sarah Anne Bates.
