It may be a problem identifying him as there are several, of the same name born in 1922 in different parts of the country. If he moved around the records could be any one of him

Was it only Harry you were interested in? Assuming he stayed in the Stoke area, he is likely to have married DORIS M STEELE in 1947.

Thank you for info I had picked up the marriage of Harry to Doris and the last time I saw him was 1953 and he did have young children then. I'm going to look into Doris death something I hadn't coincided.
I have found Maud May in the last two years as you may have seen in the past. But none of the rest of my mothers family,
thought I had more chanc with Harry as he was the youngest. Thank you everyone :-D
