I wonder if we could find out if his Father ever returned to England and or if he went on to have more children?

We live not to far from Southampton and took the Museum there and he pointed it out straight away. He use to be so sharp until 4 years ago when he had a bad fall and hit his head hard and broke his hip, he has lived with me ever since. :-)

Fantastic well done Maddie that is them.

The last name she carried was Bostock.
She died in Stockport I do believe.
I have just asked my Father bless him 99 it's not easy for him to remember but he seems sure they was married and his brothers Fredrick and Samuel was also Harrison.
Im guessing now that she died around 1976-78.
