I am trying to find information on George Edward Harrison, who I think was born in Hull England, mother Beatrice Harrison, husband died in the war, and she remarried a man whose last name was Fish. George moved to Canada when he was 16, his mother joined him many years later.

Also looking for any relations of the Charles St leger Nott family, who may have moved to Richmond BC Canada, There were 3 sisters, Phyllis Nott, Vera Nott and Dorothy Nott

Thanks --Barbara

You are so lucky that info has been found for you.....you gave NO date info.

You refer to 'the war'.....which War?

'Three sisters'....sisters of Charles?

Or his children?

Where and when were they born?

Hi Flick,

I found Charles St Ledger Notts travelling with wife Beatrice and daughters Doris and Phyllis who were born in Canada. This was 1920... no age given for them, but Charles entered Canada in 1911 and was single.

You've done a fantastic job oin this Dee....especially as the info provided was incomplete - and, in part, inaccurate.

I just hope that your efforts aren't wasted, and that Barbara actually sees it
