I wonder if you remember Peter Harris b 1886 Q1 Dudley district? His parents moved to Rotherham and both died in 1900. There was a question as to whether their son had travelled to Canada, but there was also a death in Rotherham district in 1921 Q3 for a Peter Harris aged 35. We were not sure if this was the same man b 1886.

I looked for this Peter Harris (the one who died in 1921) on the 1921 census and this is him:

Peter Harris
b 1885 at Oldbury, Worcestershire, England
living at Rawmarsh, Rotherham, Yorkshire (West Riding)

In 1891 he was recorded as born in Round's Green Worcestershire. That's right next to Oldbury, though neither of them are in Dudley district (both in W Brom I believe), but the birth reg is the right one as it has the correct mmn!

Anyway, I think that fully eliminates this 1886 Peter, if you have a list of people to eliminate - given he is on the 1921 census in Rotherham when your PHH was elsewhere.
Thanks Merry my PHH was in Ashby de la Zouch in 1911 and 1921
