Find Ancestors

I am trying to find the family of Wilfred Harrison born 05/01/1924 and lived in Seghill, Northumberland. He died in January 1985.

Hi Helen, just to clarify - are you trying to find his living family or his ancestors?

Births Mar 1924 (>99%)
Harrison Wilfred (Polson) Tynemouth 10b 618

Tynemouth was the reg.dist. for Seghill at this time.

.....so mothers maiden name Polson!

possible siblings:-
Births Sep 1921 (>99%)
Harrison Elsie Polson Tynemouth 10b 720
Births Sep 1922 (>99%)
Harrison May Polson Tynemouth 10b 637
Births Sep 1930 (>99%)
Harrison Gladys Polson Tynemouth 10b 561
Births Mar 1933 (48%)
Harrison John T Polson Tynemouth 10b 487

.....but can't find a marriage???

Here it is........probably:-
Marriages Sep 1921 (>99%)
Fenwick Albert H Young Tynemouth 10b 569
xxxx Harrison Wilfred (Paulsen) Tynemouth 10b 569
xxxx Paulsen Eliza D (Harrison) Tynemouth 10b 569
Young Elizabeth C Fenwick Tynemouth 10b 569

Births Jun 1901 (>99%)
Polson Eliza Draper S. Shields 10a 880

This is probably the birth of Eliza, but to go back any further you will need to start by buying the marriage cert.
this will give you the couples ages, so you can work out their dates of births. It will also give you their father's names so you can find them in 1911 census, or confirm any findings.


Several possible births for Wilfred:-
Births Jun 1892 (>99%)
Harrison Wilfred Tynemouth 10b 288

Births Mar 1899 (>99%)
Harrison Wilfred Alnwick 10b 450

Births Jun 1903 (>99%)
Harrison Wilfred Newcastle T. 10b 128

.......the first is the most probably, there are also lots of other possibles in County Durham and many more in the rest of the country. but you can not be sure which is the correct one without the marriage cert.

Don't know if you're looking for this, but this looks to be the marriage for Eliza's parents:-
