Title: Anthony George Harrison
Post by: ollybilly on Saturday 20 December 25 09:33 GMT (UK)
I am trying to find more information about Anthony George Harrison my 1st cousin 1x removed.
He was born 11/02/1928 and passed 15/02/2003 in Amersham Buckinghamshire.His parents were George Harrison born 1903 in Nelson Lancashire passed12/08/1928 in Aylesbury Buckinghamshire and Gladys Ellen Putman born 14/03/1903 in West Wycombe Buckinghamshire passed 03/04/1994 in Amersham Buckinghamshire.
I can’t find very much about him i e military service work etc . I have a possible marriage to Marjorie C Duelch in January 1958 in Amersham Buckinghamshire and they might have lived nearby in Beaconsfield.I can find out anything about Marjorie either so any help would be greatly appreciated.

First thing would be to get the marriage certificate to confirm he is the correct person.
That will list occupations and father’s names.  Witness names can also be helpful.

I can’t find very much about him i e military service work etc .

Electoral rolls are probably the only public records where you might find him recorded.  Military records after 1945 would still be with the Ministry of Defence.

That's good, but please please modify your post as the son may well be still alive and rootschat has a very strict rule about naming living people.
