Hi all, looking on behalf of my cousin. Her father was the above man who married Doris Williams in Newport 1937. I thought the name Havelock would make searching quite easy but soon found out not so. The name Havelock seems quite common in the early 1900’s in Cardiff. Anyone got a sharper eye than me! Phil

Purchase of the marriage certificate might help :o
-
Is that all you can tell us about him.
-
Sorry, I found him in the 1939 list in Newport which says he was born in 1905.I can find one in 06
-
His birth reg is easily found on freebmd in 1905??? Use GRO online for his mmn then use freebmd for parents marriage

I can't see a 1939 entry for a Walter Havelock Harrison with a wife Doris in Wales
What is his full birthdate?
There is a Baptism record 24.5.1905 shows parents George Henry & Emma
As mentioned above - the marriage cert will confirm his fathers name
-
1939 entry says Havelock Walter 14 Lambert st. Elizabeth was probably Doris middle name. Valerie, daughter is also correct.
-
Also just spotted a birth date of March 3rd 1905 which could tie in with the christening you found and possibly a later registration as it says June quarter.
-
Where have you got a March birthdate from?
He died 1955 as Walter Havelock Harrison. The 1905 birth reg I mentioned was June qtr which fits with his birthdate on the 1939 register as does the baptismal date
His mothers maiden name was King so you should be able to find the marriage on freebmd as I gave their christian names earlier. Then you can check the various census entries

On the 1939 reg by the side of his name it says Mar 3. Thank you for putting up with me and my hap hazard research Carole.
-
No it doesn't - it says 3.5. which is 3rd of May Not March 3rd.
-
I have searched on FindMyPast - Marriage quarter 2, Vol. 11A, page 331, year 1937.
Hope this helps
-
Thank you very much, Phil.
-

Death March qtr 1909 Cardiff
George Henry Harrison aged 27

There is a Welsh 1901 entry for a George Henry Harrison born Cardiff 1882 - father Walter Havelock Harrison b 1858 Cardiff. More than a coincidence I think
-
That’s great Carole, thank you so much Carole. You’ve helped me in the past and come up trumps again, Phil.
