My husbands grandad would never talk about his family. He left home to join the army in 1903. He said he wasnt wanted.
The GRO years ago helped us get his birth cert from the info on his marriage cert. Born about 1886, father Thomas Harrison (deceased).
This came up with Peter Harrison born in York in 1886, father Thomas mother Annie.
This fitted as Father in Law said that his dad was a yorkshireman.
Army records were no help as they said he was born in Ashby de la Zouch, Leicestershire. That is where he was living when called up again as a reservist in WW1.
1911 census says he was born in Rotherham.
I know its still Yorkshire, BUT??????????
I have checked FreeBMD and the 1901 and 1891. There are no Peter Harrisons born in Rotherham.
Do you think I am still on the right track with being born in York?
