Hi barryd

*  Did Harold have a brother ??

I do not think Harold Jnr, ever had a brother. His father was off to war and his mother died 12 November 1918. Influenza. The bells of peace were ringing in the churches and she was dying. He did however have a grand-uncle, Francis Rowland Creasy, born Wimbledon, Surrey, then Ceylon and then New Zealand - Nelson.  I wonder if they ever knew that? Any help in any NZ source appreciated.

Hi .... yes I had just found the mother's death (1918) ... and the father's re-marriage (1919).

{Forget the "brother" question ... I was jumping to conclusions.  }

*  Do you know if Harold was raised in UK ?

Reason for asking is I can see a Harold ACHESON - 13 years [bc 1913] travelling to Canada in 1926.

Hi

Francis Rowland CREASY   ... probably the man who appears on NZ records as Frank Roland CREASY ?

You can view his probate file at the following link >

I had not seen the 1926 Manifest of people travelling to Canada. But yes that is him, Harold Acheson Jnr. travelling to Canada and his relative in Canada is Uncle  [Frank]  Burrard Creasy. FBC was born at Carlebeck Estate, Nanvoya, Ceylon, 19 March 1891. He had some association with England but was in Gibson, Gallup, New Mexico USA when his newly arrived soon to be wife Lilly Gough from England married in Gibson 30 April 1913. He was in New Mexico with his Cousins Giles and Robert Creasy Master. Giles and Robert were born in England but their two older sisters were born in Ceylon to Robert Pulvertoft Master and Amelia Creasy. I previously had not found a second marriage for Harold Acheson Snr. but Harold Jnr's relative in England on the Manifest is given as his half sister Patricia which seems a bit strange as she would be about 6 years old if she is from his father's second marriage. Its late Sunday night in Utah so got to hit the sack. I don't want to be left out so can announce that I was in Ceylon as a very young boy when the liner stopped there. A day trip!

Hi barryd

Can confirm that John Burrard ACHESON is indeed the son of Sue and Harold ACHESON.
Had found earlier, mother and son on a return voyage from London to Quebec, Canada in 1954 where the son's full name was given on the passenger manifest.
