I am trying to find a trail for my late paternal Great Grandfather, I understand he has Relatives in Coventry. My Grandfather was born prior to Great Grandad marrying his mum, and no one talks about Grandad Harris as he was so out of favour with my grandad. Grandad Harris was called William, and I think his father was called Jabez. William came to Leeds in approx 1940, and died there in 1946, I have his burial records, but nothing else. He was born Kidsgrove / Audsley area Staffs and wife was Harriet, does this ring any bells? Grandads estranged brothers were called Harris and were Fred and David They kept in touch with my dad - Peter but he is now dead so I just kep hitting brickwalls.

How old was he when he died?

What brickwalls have you hit, so no one does the same search? I take it you are looking for ancestry?
