Hey guys,

Yes that 1921 and 31 census seems interesting, odd that her maiden name is Crockett.

But him not being listed in the 21 census and then being on the 31 seems to go with the story that he was taken in as a young boy by his aunt and uncle.

Harry had 3 kids and there middle names were John, Lillian and William

So maybe that is the William he picked the middle name from?

Here is the link for the marriage cert, not sure if it will work

The witnesses were a Fred Ursday Jr and
Ida Bowles

Yes both listed as Hussy, no maiden name

I’m not sure why he would revert to hussy and then his children and my mom go by Hussey.

We just found a bible my mom had that was passed down and it says “presented to Beatrice Hussey by grandmother Christmas 1955”

and there’s a section that says Deaths
And lists these

-mom Bell July 9 ‘75
- GFO (hard to read maybe say GEO?) bell Dec 14 ‘59
GPA lougheed March 45 ‘29
GMA Lougheed April ‘12
GMA ROBINSON June ‘12
Bob Case sept 25 ‘59

Ok so his wife was lougheed and his daughter is Beatrice hussey

We don’t know where Bell comes from or who Bob case is

And I just talked to my grandma now and she is certain Harold’s mom was his aunt who he was raised by were sisters.

So his aunt would be a hussey who married a Robinson. So maybe that census we are going by is completely wrong.

Like I said I’ve been researching this forever and it just gets confusing and dead ends lol

The only way I linked that census was because of the age and place.

My family is 100% sure that he grew up a Robinson and that’s how I’ve come to the conclusion that that is possible the correct census but I could be wrong


And I’ve looked for the marriage to establish her middle name with no luck

The family tree that shows him as Harry Robert Hussey is the one I started, the middle name is incorrect. For some reason I thought my mom told me his middle name was Robert but she did not.

I have to correct that.

The boarder in the 1921 census is 21 at the time and Harold is 3, so the ages are right for it to be his mother but Lillian’s last name says brown.

The census from 1911 you found is not the same person I think.

The marriage certificate does not have a last name for his parents

Thanks guys!
