Looks like we are not going to find them in Hurst Grove.

Fully concentrating on the hunt, Rosie!
Great minds think alike, no I won't say that because I haven't got one ;D

Do hope Vera is found. Perhaps she went abroad.

I am on both Ancestry and FindMyPast. The certificate hasn't arrived yet but I understand that Saturday mail deliveries have been halted except for parcels. So hopefully it will be Monday.
The only birth I can find for a Nicholas Harrison in 1919 with the father Frederick is in Clitheroe. It also shows the mother as Cook which could be significant after what Jool found out.
Sorry for being a bit thick but Rosie99 what do you mean about her using another name?
I am so grateful to you all for your help.

Re using another name. 

If she didn’t want to be found she could have adopted an alias. 
She could be living with another man and using his surname
She could have remarried

You haven’t said whether any children were born to the Harrison marriage (see my earlier reply 11)

I have just been looking and I think I have found three children born during the marriage. However I am not at all certain but it looks likely June 1939 (prior to the marriage) June 1943 and December 1947. I'm not sure about putting the names on the post but I know you will all be able to find them yourselves. If I can find a descendent they may know what happened.

Towndlass, I found the birth in Clithero,1919, MMN Cook,  then I found  a marriage in Bakewell,
Frederick Harrison to Elsie Cook, 1908
I have no idea where Clithero is to Bakewell although Bakewell isn't far from Sheffield I believe

Don't know about this for sure though, will see if any other Harrison /Cook marriages come up

Yes Bakewell is just outside Sheffield. I have spent many a happy hour there when I was growing up. I think Clitheroe is over the other side of the Pennines. Looking promising. I'm working on possible marriage and children from the three dob I've got for Harrison/ Owen. There are quite a few.
