Freddy and his brother Joseph emigrated from the UK to the USA with their parents Gregory Harris(Millom, 1898) and his wife Hilda Hartley during the first half of the twentieth century. Sadly Gregory died in the US and whilst Hilda remained and remarried a chap called Harper nothing is known of both brothers who remained in America. Anybody have further details?
