Thats why I posted it Mark...because I knew it was the wrong Harold, as the other sites did not give his age and parents names

None of my family seem to like the UK.... Every line i have managed to trace all end up in America, Canada, Australia or New Zealand

Another possibility for Harold (if he emigrated):-

My Harold was son of John Dingwall 1862 and Margaret Wedekind

Siblings Gertrude and Charles

Perhaps we have found the wrong Harold as it gives his parents as James Frederick and Elizabeth Ellen Dingwall of Audenshaw.
