Flick, he is there in 1881 and also 1891 as well but entered under his middle name of VICTOR first, i.e., Victor H.H. Harding.

So, he's still around in 1891. They were not a military family and it would be very out of character for him to emigrate. I know this sounds as if I'm making assumptions, but I do know alot about this family and I'm only putting this extra information on here to help.

Can anyone see anything else out there ???

TVM.

It may help to mention that he appears to have been known by one of his middle names of VICTOR throughout his life - presumably to distinguish him from his papa who was also Henry Harding.

TVM,

The only record for Henry V H Harding on Ancestry is 1871 census

There is no marriage and no death

It may well be that he emigrated........................

He isn't with his mother and sister in 1901 - they are in Fulham, BTW

PLEASE can someone with more brain cells than me (at this late hour) see if they can find my chap?

His name is:-
HENRY VICTOR HOWARD HARDING, born 1869 in Old Trafford, Stretford, Manchester.

His papa died many years earlier in 1880 and he is not listed with his widowed mother (Beatrice) and spinster sister (Beatrice Jessie) in the 1911 Census.

His widowed mother helpfully tells us that one of her three children has died and I have since established that this is the other brother, Douglas.

I have searched and searched but I do find that the 1911 is not very user friendly. I have also searched for WWI records of him, without success.

PLEASE HELP! He is the last missing link and I do so need to find him. Also, if he was married there may be offspring . . .

Many thanks in advance. Please don't be offended if I don't get straight back to you - have to do other things, like work :(((
