Do you know for sure that Ethel's mother was Matilda?

In his marriage to Matilda .. He was listed as widowed, a carman and father Richard was labourer.

In 1901 Richard with Richard & Mary as parents.. Richard snr's father occupation was Carman.

1901 with parents Richard & Annie, Richard snr occupation was Waterside labour dock

seeing Richard jnr was widowed, this possibly is 1st marriage

i did not know my grandmother had a brother at all so this is really interesting,she never ever mentioned anything about a brother,so this is quite interesting....

The Army records stated parents as Richard & Annie - so marriage and the 1st 1901 Census should match

there are no Richard Harnetts on 1911 census.

Have you got any birth certificates that would give you the parents names and mother's maiden name?
