My maternal aunt who was 17 years younger than my mother is now 86. She was born after both Harry and Maria (grandparents) had died obviously and remembers very few comments about Harry in particular. My grandmother had corrected her when she called him Henry and said no, he was Harris. The family lived in a nice house in Shirley and it appeared to be a stable and happy home. Apparently Maria loved living in Charleston South Carolina for that brief period and never mentioned any possibility of Harry having any other family. All very confusing.
He mentioned that he had a sister Margaret and another Mary Jane.
He called his first three daughters Ann, Margaret and Mary Jane. There was some mention of an Irish connection. He didn't like having his photograph taken so we only have one. He was apparently a nice man who adored my grandmother who was the last child. I apologise to him if he is not the particular individual I am scrutinising online!
