Re: Electoral Roll

Thanks for the reply.I have the above information and have entered this on my tree.Its what happened to
John Jonathan after 1911 that I would like to find out.It is strange that Harriet is said to be Harry's sister.
Perhaps would prevent wagging tongues about a women living with a man without being married.
Best wishes

Re: Electoral Roll

Thank you very much for this detailed information.I have sent a copy of this to the Grand daughter of John Crisp.She used
to live at Great Barr but now lives in Brighton and is bringing her Tree up to date.
Keep up the good work
