I will try and find the name of my father's grandmother.

I found out from my father that my grandmother had three sisters and one brother. Martha (his mother), Ada, Grace, Doris and Frank. He remembers them having step siblings which could be from the first marriage to Maria Beardsley.

However he doesn't remember his maternal grandfather being Harry. Also, I was always led to believe my Grandmothers home was at Woodhouses near Melbourne which I think was the smallholding of Thomas Jackson. Perhaps there is another reason his mother was at North St when he was born.

Ada Jackson married Bill Beardsley so it looks as though there is a family connection there and my Dad thought they lived in Victoria St Melbourne.

Frank married Hilda Lane the daughter of Fred Lane and they lived at Barrow on Trent. He remembers Fred Lane was in charge of a threshing machine.
