Looks like Peggy may have been named for her sister?

Births Mar 1929 Harris Margaret J Houghton Islington 1b 276

Deaths Mar 1930 Harris Margaret J 0 Edmonton 3a 663


If Peggy is his daughter there is also possibly a son born in the same area as her in 1942.

Researching:

Are you 100% certain that both Margaret and Peggy were born to this couple?

Peggy is usually a diminutive of Margaret

When did Fred Harris marry Mary Chapman?

Have you looked to see if anyone on genes has any of the family in their trees?

Hello, Searching for any relative of FREDERICK HARRIS b 1904/6 Islington London. Son of Fred Harris and Mary Chapman. He married HILDA MAISIE HOUGHTON on 4th August 1928, and they had 3 girls; MARGARET J, PEGGY M AND DOREEN H. I believe Doreen married a JOHN KINGSTON with whom she had a son, also JOHN KINGSTON. She died in March 1966 and is buried at Enfield Cemetery. Of the other 2 daughters I have little information. Fred was my Grandad's brother and of the six siblings he is the only one they lost touch with and of who I have no information. If anybody know of these people or even has come across them during their research I would be very grateful for the help.
Sincerely
Lea Camara Martin
