Re: looking for Harry Lear

hi all
i am after a bit of advice regarding harry lear. the previous information seems to be accurate but i cant find any record of his death,it was sometime between 1944-1949
has any one got any ideas of how to get this info
any help much appricated
cheers paul
 
Re: looking for Harry Lear

Is death 1944-49 definate?
Have checked 1942-1952,found nothing , a Harry Lear died Stafford 1951 age 61 making birthdate 1890.
Checked War graves and found nothing.
 
Re: looking for Harry Lear

I Don,nt Want To Cause Any Confusion And It May be Very A Different Harry Lear
And As Bren AsReported From Aston ,There Was ALear Family Living On The Lichfield Rd Aston InThe Forties And The Fifties Whom Also Died ,They Lived Up ABig Terrace
BETWEEN RobinsonsThe Fruit And Veg And Diggers The News Agents
And It Was Either His Wife Or Himself Had A Family Connection To Another Family
Up Cromwell Terrace Just Food For Thought To Cross Check Any Deaths
 
Re: looking for Harry Lear

alberta thanks for looking but i am 99% sure that the years are correct as other family records confirm this
 
Re: looking for Harry Lear

astonian thanks for looking and your information has opened a new line of enquires i can look at ,it might not be the same harry lear but there could be a connection anyway
 
Re: looking for Harry Lear

Hi Younghat :) Must agree with Alberta prior post,, No Harry (Harold)(Henry) Lear(born 1909) in Death records 1942-1949 i also checked.,,

The only record period "not showing up on Ancestry" is 4th Quarter 1946 this is
your only period between 1942-1949 that needs checking,
Do you have Harry Lear,s birth certificate ? are you sure of "Harry" 1st name ? could be "Henry" or a middle name etc
Good luck JohnY :cool:
 
Re: looking for Harry Lear

john thanks for your help
i have not got harry's birth cert yet but he is listed on my mom's birth cert has harry
why is the 4th q missing for 1946 and is there anyway of finding this missing text cheers again
 
Re: looking for Harry Lear

Hi Younghat :) "Harry" may have been put down as his "known by name" on
your Mom,s birth cert but may not be strictly true ? he may have had a 1st name "eg Cuthbert" he didn,t like to use
There are many "porkie pies", names , ages, addresses etc on B M & D certs,
Of course Ladies,,never told lies about age, or middle-nicknames etc ,,did they :rolleyes: lol
Sometimes theres a Glitch in the "records" &/or Ancestry/FreeBMD just haven,t got around to transcribe a Quarter to their site
Will have another look at 4th Qu 1946, if still nbg, will ask Ancestry, ok.
What makes you 99% certain the year of death between the dates you stated?
Bit more info may help to find "Harry" with you,,Cheers JohnY :cool:
 
Re: looking for Harry Lear

john the reason i am 99% certain that he died between 1944-48 is my mom was born in 38 and my uncle in 44 then my nan remarried and my aunt was born in feb 49
 
Re: looking for Harry Lear

Younghat :) Did Nan divorce ? have you got her 2nd Marriage cert,,stating Widow?
These are lines to investigate to ensure your searches prove fruitful, Cheers JohnY
 
Re: looking for Harry Lear

Thanks Beatrice,,, nice look-up,,:)
Seems Ancestry have missed this Quarter, (Have E-m,d them )
Good luck Younghat,, JohnYoung (no hat :cool:)
 
Re: looking for Harry Lear

Hi Younghat,are you sure that your grandmother remarried.

There was a marriage between Margaret Lear and Ronald McCall in 1949 in Kingswood Gloucs ,was that your grandmothers second marriage.It is the only one in 1949 and I have found no McCall child born in 1949 with Lear or Ryder as mothers name.
 
Re: looking for Harry Lear

alberta thanks for the look up, my nan did remarry but she became a jenkins(one of many) but i have no other info at the mo cheers again
by the way was aunt was not called christine
