I don't see a Winifred A Harvey born at that time in Nottinghamshire.

There's this one in Worksop:

Births Sep 1893 (>99%)
Harvey Winifred Annie Worksop 7b 48

However, Ancestry suggests she married John W Taylor in Worksop in 1915 - and she and John are together in Worksop in 1939.



EDIT:
there's a closed record with Harold and Winifred in 1939.
Could be a Townsend/Harvey daughter born in Worksop in 1933.

Wow a reply for Peter Hebblethwaite born Nottingham

Have just read your reply re Harry Cooke I don’t think it’s the same Harry Cooke as my Grandfather But who knows Without doing any researching

As far as I know my Vera Wilson nee Cooke went out to join Peter Hebblethwaite, After Peter was there in Canada And for some reason came back to England later

It is certainly the same PH, but the Cooke connection is not relevant, as far as I can see

Hi ErikaH
The 1939 register listing that you have is the correct Peter Hebblethwaite, my uncle, and I agree the Cooke connection seems to be a coincidence. The officially closed record is my aunt who is still alive and was born in 1934.

So my Harold Cooke / Winifred Townsend (Peter's Uncle and Aunt) are a red-herring as regards Vera.

Peter went on to marry in Canada in 1957, apparently having to leave the Mounties to do so. So it would perhaps be the reason that Vera returned as Peter had met someone over there.

As mentioned earlier in the thread Peter went to Canada on the 27th of Dec 1952 on the Scythia, and Vera is not on the same passenger list, so she must have known Peter quite well (??? romantically) to have gone out in 1954 to Canada.
