Aha!

Searched for any event for Bert* T Harrison.


Marriages Dec 1911
Harrison Bertie T Southwark 1d 275
Izatt Ellen E Southwark 1d 275

(Edit - so that seems to rule out that 1904 Bertie, but one might think they're related.)


Your maternal grandmother wasn't quite Mary Ellen Izatt. ;)

I won't go any further either until Peter returns.

it's looking like that marriage certiifcate might be needed to go back farther, although it might be possible to hunt them up in the 1911 census before marriage, with their families, hopefully.

Yuppers. Peter, go there and search for anyone with surname Izatt living with an Ellen Izatt in Southwark, and you'll find what is likely Ellen's whole family, for starters.

Found births for 2 Harrison - Izatt children in the 1920, but can not find a Izatt - Harrison marriage. ??

Could Mary Ellen have been married before, and therefore marrying under a different name ? ?
