Hi

Yes Ernest was his younger brother who died in WW1, I can't find my GGF marrying my GGM at all, I can see a marriage for him in 1870 but not to her, this is new to me. Are these records totally accurate. My GGM maiden name was Nichols/Nicholls

I will send off for the marriage I can find to see if it sheds any light, he worked in Goole, Hull and York from records I have seen so far. My GGM was born in Angram near York.

Its quite worrying me now that they were never actually married.

Well that blows that death reg out of the water Jax.

I can't even find a record of him being in the Army in ww1.

He has done a good job of hiding himself.

If (as you say ) he was in the Army + fought in WW1 + survived that conflict -- He should be easy to find through his army record and Medal rolls If he stayed in the forces after WW1 maybe his records show when +where his discharge address was There may be his change of name on his discharge forms (if he did change his name) Regards Bob B

Have you tried Search Trees on this site?

There are other members with the surname Harmson in their trees.

You might find a connection?

Last year! I watched one of them programs that finds people who can collect money coz their rellies died!!! and on there they said a man often changed his name if he left his family ie deserted

So prehaps this is one of those men

Now this death here may be him I found a death and sent for a certificate and it was who i was looking for coz the informant name was a person in the family ...worth a try

My Great-Grand-Father's names spelling changed from the time he was born to the time he got married to the time his first son was born to the time he died and I still turning up all sorts of weird things so, try different spellings of the name, hope this helps.

I would bet you will find him somewhere under the name of Harrison - an obvious transcription error.

I know, I got those results too. My family are very good at cutting people off!

I will have to wait for the 1912 census to come out so I can see if that yields anything.

Thanks for your assistance
