Although these days boys are often named Harry at birth, in the 19th and even the 20th century most were named Henry at birth but took on Harry as a pet name.

hi folks

wasn't sure if I should start a new thread or add to this.

would love to know the father of Harry wood and possible birthplace of the father too. help please. and thanks in advance :-D

Oh brilliant thank you. :-D

On Findmypast the Wright family on the record posted by Margee are a separate family. Polly is with the Gledhill family.

Given under "Occupation" for Gilbert Gledhill it says.........Secretary to G.H. Gleddhill and Sons Ltd., Cash Till Manufacturers. (although the transcription says Cash Oil Manufacturers)

Polly is a domestic housemaid.

Kath. x

Brilliant thank you everyone.

This seems to be her in 1911 on Ancestry but she's not a daughter, she's a domestic (housemaid) and her birthplace is Wentworth not Westcot.

Hi,

Yes just found that on free bmd, if it is her, not sure why she is so far away. Would need death cert. :-D

Hi,

Yes had a quick look for marriage and couldn't find one in or around the area she lived. Presuming that she may have gone into service in 1911. Maybe Leeds or hunslet way on perhaps.

:-D

Have you looked for a marriage? She'd have been c25 by 1911

Possible parents' marriage?
