For 100% accuracy, you need Harold's birth cert

When did he die?

At the moment, you have no way of knowing where he was born........

Hi all,

I am looking into my mums side of the family, and have once again hit a brick wall, so I'm asking on here after all the help from you previously.

I am looking for further family information on Harold Mellor born 1895, he is the son of William Mellor birth year unknown, Harold married an Elizabeth Hamilton in Prestwich in July 1914 at the age of 19, on the marriage cert which I have a copy of it states Harolds occupation as a pattern painter and his fathers occupation as a Mechanic. I have looked at the 1911 and 1901 census to see if I can locate them, but although I have found 2 entries for Harold and William in the Manchester Lancashire area, but I don't seem to be able to connect them, I have made contact to others with similar entries in their trees and they are not the same people, so I am slightly stuck, could someone please see if they can locate them?

A little more background to Harold and Elizabeth, there address was 6 ernest street on the marriage cert, they definately had 3 children, Ivy 1921, who emigrated to Canada in the 1940's after marrying a canadian soldier, they had Harold (my grandad) in 1924 and also Eunice in 1932 she passed at the age of 11 from TB, I have found a burial for a mellor at the mentioned address in 1916 for an Irene Mellor age 16 mnths, I also found the birth and death of Irene who was born in 1914 in the July quarter, If Irene is conected for definate then Irene birth ect does answer alot of questions in regards to Elizabeth being classed as the blacksheep of her family in later years.

Any help anyone can give is much appreciated xx

Sorry its so long winded xx
