I have searched GRU, Cheshire BMD and Free BMD but can't find Harry Newall. He was born in Warrington, and his nine brothers and sisters were born between 1908 and 1933. Can anyone find his date of birth and marriage, and the name of his wife please?

Edited: Harry NOT Harold!

Do you have an approximate year for his birth please? Who did he marry and when and where did he die?

I put the wrong first name, have edited the post to read Harry. I only know that he was born in Warrington, most likely between 1908 and 1933, not any earlier and not any later.

Any names for his siblings please? Parents names?

No one has the information you have unless you give it

as rootgatherer said, names of siblings, names of parents .....

that information is essential for anyone else to do any searches to try to help you! you knowing it just doesn't help


how do you know he existed at all for instance ?

you know _something_ about him !!


without finding his records, you don't know whether his name was Harry, Harold or Winston !

Harry would be short for Harold (or Henry).
How do you KNOW he was registered as Harry ?

Edward

Edward Report 8 Feb 2011 18:49

Parents were Isaac Newall and Hannah McKenna (McKanna on some records). His siblings were William, Evelyn, Elsie, Edward, Ronald, Edna, Arthue, Nellie and Marie

Mike, that would explain it if he was christened Harold or Henry, unfortunately there is no one alive now who would know that.

odd, freebmd hid this one from me at first -- ah, it's the misspelling of Isaac

Mike, no, he was a Newall not a Newell.

Edward, trust people who know what they are doing

it is just as posible that Newall got misspelled on birth entries as that McKenna did

these are exploratory searches

maybe you would give ALL your information, like the birthdates of the siblings, so people aren't hunting and gathering pointlessly

The spelling a century ago was only as good as the registrar....

As you said yourself ...(McKanna on some records).

chrissiex Report 8 Feb 2011 18:55

Harry is the most common short form of Henry

Births Dec 1913
Newall Henry Mckenna Warrington 8c 382

is that not the obvious choice?

Edward

Edward Report 8 Feb 2011 18:56

MarieCeleste, as he doesn't show on the 1911 census he must have been born sometime after that but before 1933.

Had you even tried searching for Newall births with mother Mck*nna at freebmd?
