A John P Harrison death in Islington that could be worth looking at:

Name: John P Harrison
Death Registration Month/Year: 1944 Q1
Age at death (estimated): 67 = dob c1876-77
Registration district: Islington
Inferred County: Greater London
Volume: 1b
Page: 326


Two possible matching births:

Births Jun 1876
Harrison John Percy West Ham 4a 6
Births Dec 1876
Harrison John Percy Barton 8c 622

This would be the West Ham one in 1881 in West Ham:

John Harrison 56
Jane E. Harrison 41
Charles Harrison 25
Walter Harrison 20
John P. Harrison 5


Was the person on the ER Gertrude's father? brother? child born before marriage? Hmm.

I think we still don't know how you know that Gertrude's birth surname was Harrison. Can you tell us that?

edit -- we don't have a Gertrude Harrison + Graham marriage certificate, is the problem, if that's what you meant!

You beat me to searching military records -- I wandered off to see whether I'd found my grx3 grandmother dying in Scotland, but no joy after all. ;)

which goes with the marriage posted on p.1

Marriages Sep 1915
Graham William L Ibbetson Bradford 9b 553
Ibbetson Gertrude L Graham Bradford 9b 553

Births Jun 1891
GRAHAM William Lawrence Bradford, Y. 9b 162

All as Jan posted earlier.


If we could only get an answer to where the name Gertrude Lilian Harrison came from.

Could John Percy Harrison have been a second partner/husband?
