Hi , hope this is the right board . Harriet was my husband grandmother.

Harriet was born 1903 in 1911 she living in Jarrow. She married Frank Attaway in 1926 and she died in 1946 , Harriet and Frank had 3 children. apart from her parents we do not know a lot about Harriet . I am hoping someone on here may be able to help.
We do not know what Harriet or her family look like. Harriet great granddaughter live in the Whitley Bay area and we do wonder if there is any of Harriet family still living in the North East area.

Thank you Sandy

Have you found her on any census

What about her birth cert .do you have that

Henry G and Georgina had a son - Noel C, born 1934 in Wandsworth.

I'm not posting the birth details, for reason below.:




In 1939 (posted above) Henry and Georgina were at 12 Jersey Road, and there's a closed record with them (per Ancestry).

Ancestry also has this record of Noel, also at 12 Jersey Road, but with his parents' records closed:

Noel C[xxxx] Pearce
in the 1939 England and Wales Register
Name: Noel C [ xxxx ] Pearce
Gender: Male
Marital status: Single
Birth Date: xxxxxxxxx 1934
Residence Year: 1939
Address: 12 Jersey Rd.
Residence Place: Mitcham, Surrey, England
Occupation: Under School Age
Schedule Number: 95
Sub Schedule Number: 3
Enumeration District: CNBB
Household Members:
Name
Noel C [ xxxx ] Pearce



I've missed out his actual DOB and middle name on the 1939 record, because unless he has died very recently, he may still be alive - in spite of being shown on the 1939 register.
He's on the 2019 ER in Hampshire, and his wife was listed with him until at least 2016.

He married a Ridgway in Leicestershire in 1957.

EDIT:
Of course, it may be a completely different Noel C Pearce who married in 1957!

But I don't see the birth of any other Noel C Pearce 1900-40
In fact, he's the only Noel C Pearce in the whole of FreeBMD
