Do you think that as a child his birthday would have been celebrated?
I don’t know. I got his date of birth from the 1939 register and his daughters diary where she’d listed birthdays.

But the person is listed as a match and a 5th to 8th cousin and 9cM has no Italian ancestry

So we need to go back from Eliza H, mother of Peter and see if we can get to this Elizabeth? She could be Eliza's aunt or great aunt?

Have we found the couple who died in 1900 anywhere else?

I'm a bit confused about what siblings this Peter had. I looked on FMP and got:

Ann Elizabeth 1882 West Brom

Albert Edward 1896 Loughborough

Lily 1892 Rotherham

Plus Peter...

Are there any more (Phoenix mentioned a Sarah Ann, but I don't know who she is?) and do we know these all had the same parents?

Forget Peter Harris. I’ve found him in 1921 in Rawmarsh

Tying ourselves in knots and going round in circles. We can’t possibly remember all of the research we’ve done in the past.
