lol Merry
If I'd have found anything I wouldn't have snuck it in here. It would have had a brand new thread on all of the boards I reckon.

If the truth about PHH was uncovered, the least I'd expect would be an e-mail from the site admin to every member, and possibly a small segment on the six o'clock news.

Margaret,
I was browsing the grandparent threads earlier and decided to have another shot at PHH. ![]() A possible lead I've been looking into - albeit focusing on the Harrison surname, which you say he may well have made up - is a chap named Edward Harrison, although obviously if you can find him in 1911 then it would rule him out. Here are the census returns I can find for his father (who is with him): 1871 (possibly someone else) 1881 1891 1901 He is the right age, he's a coal hewer, and he's from Rotherham (Masbrough, it looks like). A possible marriage is: December 1885 Devizes 5a 202: Harrison Thomas Watts Anna Milly Of course, this could well be the wrong couple; perhaps they married in Yorkshire? I thought I might have found some of the children, but if so the MMN - Willis - doesn't match Watts, so they're probably wrong. HARRISON, THOMAS EDWARD GEORGE WILLIS GRO Reference: 1883 D Quarter in ROTHERHAM Volume 09C Page 615 ...died 1891. HARRISON, EDWARD WILLIS GRO Reference: 1886 M Quarter in ROTHERHAM Volume 09C Page 636 HARRISON, LILY WILLIS GRO Reference: 1890 J Quarter in ROTHERHAM Volume 09C Page 585 I did manage to find Lillie in 1911, and I think Thomas might have died in 1908: Harrison Thomas 55 Rotherham 9c 373 Annie is here (widowed) in 1911. Apparently three children are dead, but aside from Lillie I don't know the other two who are apparently still alive are. It might simply be that the three children from the previous census records (Hetty, Lilly, Edward) are all alive, and there had been three other children who died very young and don't appear on any census records. I can't find Edward in 1911 (a good sign, I suppose?) but no doubt someone else will. It'd also be interesting to know what the children's births are. This might well end up being a huge waste of time, and no doubt someone will find Edward in 1911, but I haven't (yet) and I thought it an avenue at least worth investigating.

I haven't looked for Edward at all yet, but, as you said, James, that marriage for the parents is wrong as here are the couple who married in 1885 on the 1891 census:

I think the correct marriage is Q2 1882 in Rotherham.
