Looking for information on Harold Heslop? Ran away from home when his father remarried. He was arrested by police in Liverpool for vandalising a railway carriage and sent back to County Durham and sent to Sedgefield Mental Hospital. Believe he remained there until he died. Would welcome any information on his death & burial!!!!

There are other postings on genealogical sites that are saying it was Harold's brother Hector who was responsible for vandalizing the railway carriage in Liverpool. Who were the parents of Harold?
