Hi,

I am trying to find a trace of my great grandfather. I have recieved mixed messages from my family members, here's what I have.

George Harold Graham Kennell-Hardey

He seems to have died using the name George, married with the name Harold and I can't find him being born at all.
I think he was born (1891) with the name George Graham Kennell (or maybe Harold instead of Graham) in Birmingham possibly, he changed his last name to Kennell-Hardey as a stage name then possibly just Hardey in later life. Both he and his wife worked in the theatre and travelled around Canada. He later moved back to the UK (Birmingham) and owned (or worked at) a printing business.

His wifes name was Mary Lillian Kennedy. He died in Birmingham in 1974

Someone please help me find out what his name actually is..... I am finding it hard to continue that side of my tree without it.

Thanks
Jennie
