Find Ancestors

Hi, Please help! I have no information on my grandfather Frank Harrison born 1913 in Disley Manchester - i think his middle name was Edward but not certain. I don't know when he died as my father was very young.
Thankyou
Georgina

Going on your info there is one that may fit the bill

Do you know an approx year for the death?
