I am trying to find any link to Sidneys father.
Sidney married a Florence Andrews in around 1918 and lived in Berkhamstead in Herts
I have no idea who his parents were or if he had any brothers or sisters. I thinkthat he was buried in Luton in the 50s. This is the only side of my famoily that I have had no success with at all

Is this Harry or Henry which appeared on the 1901 census and was the mothers name spelt this way on this census and then refined later

Leslie

Leslie Report 15 Feb 2008 22:50

Is James the father of Henry or harry or both

Lewella

Lewella Report 15 Feb 2008 23:03

Henry and Harry would be one and the same. Quite common (as we know from Prince Harry) for Henry to be called Harry.

I'd same that James was the father of Henry/Harry
