This is sounding very hopeful, Sue....prehaps that is why I was having so much trouble.

Are they in Pancras? Because that is so close to where they were living when Winifred was born.

Odd

I can only access the 1901 decoder so can't see the proper census image.

I wonder if they ought to be together but are on pages next to each other

Thanks Kate, but Julia's maiden name was Bassett, and the daughter Julia on that census would be too young. My Gran was born in 1903.

No John Harrisons turning up anywhere who were window cleaners in 1901. I think he must have had a different occupation then.

Sue, I don't know where John or Julia was born, just that resided in Islington area.

What was John Henry Harrison's profession?

There is a man of that name in Islington on the 1901 who is a student Church of England and is 33.
He's born in Newcastle on Tyne

Several don't mention a middle name
