NOTE

Harry came to Lancashire with his father between 1872 - 1881, probably after his mother's death. The family lived at Irlam o th Height, Pendlebury, Gtr Manchester (1891) with Jemima's mother Jane Kirkman. I have a feeling he never divorced from my gg Grandmother Jemima & so bigamy springs to mind!

He's later recorded at 6 Victoria St., Hoyland Nether St Peter, Nether Hoyland, Yorkshire with his second wife & child in 1901.
