Probably a red herring in my search for Peter Henry Harrison OH's grandfather but I've found a Peter Harris of the right age in 1901.
In 1911 Peter said he was born in Rotherham but nothing has ever been found. This Peter Harris is living with aunt and uncle in Rawmarsh, Yorkshire which is just outside Rotherham. According to the 1901 he was born in Rouley, Derbyshire. I can't find this at all. Any ideas what it could be? http://search.ancestry.co.uk/Browse/...marsh.ALL.1.39

Looking at Genuki http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/DBY/Parishes.html#R it could possibly be Rowsley or Rodsley

There is a Peter Harris in Rawmarsh on the 1891 age 5 born Rounds Green Worcestershire, son of John and Lizzie. Wonder if it's the same person?

I've seen that Kate, makes it even more complicated. Worcestershire and Derbyshire can't be confused surely.

There's also a birth reg in Dudley that matches that one

Thanks Julie
I really don't know where I'm going with this one. I've tried to find this same person in 1911 with no luck. The earliest thing we know about OH's grandfather was that he joined the Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry in 1903 in Castleford, Yorkshire. His army record has been weeded and there is no further info before he was called up as a reservist for WW1. No place of birth. He's in Ashby de la Zouch in 1911 but before that.............. who knows

lol!!
Maybe find out how he is nephew (whoever he is) Step one: Marriages Dec 1886 Ellis William Basford 7b 239 ROLLINSON Samuel Basford 7b 239 <<<<<<<<<<<<< ROWLAND Sarah Basford 7b 239 Stevenson Elizabeth Basford 7b 239 <<<<<<<<<<<< So, maybe his mother was a Stevenson or a Rollinson who married a Harris?

I do think you should have put his name in the thread title, so I would know not to open it
