I am trying to find anyone who knew a George Bateman Harrod, who died, aged 76, in 2008, possibly in Wigton. We know he was born in Sunderland. We don't know if he had any children, or anyone who may have known him. Any info. would be great fully received. Thankyou.

We are trying to find anyone who knew a George Bateman Harrod, who was born in Sunderland, in 1932, and died in 2008. His last known address was in Wigton, Cumbria, but he may have moved back to the North East. We don't know if he had any family or, indeed, anyone who knew him. Thankyou.

If he was 13 in 1945 surely he wouldn't be married and divorced?

Yep, I got that wrong! I will edit that bit, Thankyou.

Have you got a copy of his will as that may give you some information you don't have. You can apply for it on the probate web site (£1.50)

Hi did he marry a Gladys Holmes in 1946 Alston?

Oops that was his father b 1893 who married 1946?
George Bateman Harrod was registered September qtr 1931 Sunderland mmn Hill.
-
Thankyou very much.
-
We don't know anything about who he married.
-
Well, that means his father married 3 times. We knew about his first two wives but not the third! It does get confusing when father and son have the same name! Again, thankyou, and we are making progress.

National Probate Index for Robert William Harrod who died 3rd December 1993 gives same Electoral Register Address as given for Robert: 40 Park Road, Wigton, Cumbria
-
Thankyou very much, that's a lot of research. Much appreciated.
-
Do you mean the same address for both George and Robert? 40 Park Park Road, Wigton?
-
I would suggest just a typo, he looks to have been living with George B, wonder where Gladys was living in Wigton?
Was the second wife of George Broadbent Harrod b 1893 a Sarah E Everall or Sarah E Twist who married 1937 Sunderland?
Where was George B born 2nd October 1893?

There are so many questions and gaps with the two brothers. Basically, the rest of the family lost touch with them, and their parents/step mothers in the 1930/40's. George Bateman Harrod, born 1893, married Sarah E Twist in 1937, his second wife. The family is hoping there are, somewhere, any children from either George's marriages or Robert's. We don't know if Robert even married. We think George B. senior was born in Ashington, Northumberland, 1893. His father was Robert Bateman Harrison Herrod ( different spelling of surname, for some reason).

-
Never heard of those names before, but I will see if other family members have. Thankyou.
-
OK believe John J is John Thomas White who married Ophelia Hutchinson June qtr 1907 Teesdale maybe Robert W Harrod was just boarding with them in 1939, he would have been 13/14 wonder where he was at school?
