Hi LadyHawk.

I am sorry I should have said about Doris May Owen his wife (my Grandmother). She died at the age of 90 around 2004.

D M HARRIS born 9 Oct 1914 age 90
Jul 2005 Sandwell West Midlands
Register Number:   A79 District and Subdistrict:   070/1A Entry Number:   14

This would be her I am thinking. Her mother was Elizabeth Pritchard,who was married to Caleb Owen.

I have an online copy of their marriage certificate, but the address is hard to read. It looks like Joseph was at Number 2 something, Alfred Street? Aston and Doris was in  3, Back 117, Prescott Street, Brookfields, Birmingham.

19th May 1934 at All Saints Parish Church her brother Edward Frederick Owen married and his address 3/117 Prescott Street she was one of the witnesses he died 1962

Do you have access to Anc*y to look at the info. yourself?

I've added these in case

Caleb Alfred Owen born 13 Nov 1908
Baptism Date:   6 Dec 1908 Birmingham, St Paul, Warwickshire
Father:   Caleb Owen
Mother:   Elizabeth Owen above 3 Taylor’s Buildings, Victoria Street

Edward Frederick Owen born 30 Jun 1910
Baptism Date:   17 Jul 1910 Birmingham, St George, Warwickshire
Father:   Caleb Owen
Mother:   Elizabeth Owen abode 2 Back St Barr Street

Hi LadyHawk.

On the information about Rose Stamford. I have found that it is either stamford or stanfield. Her middle name was Ellen.

She was born about 1881 and her parents were named as George and Ellen.

It gets confusing when the surnames do not match. But It could be either spelling.

Using the free search 1939 register for a William J HARRIS & Rose E HARRIS in Birmingham CB

Came up with this record

William J Harris 1882
Rose E Harris 1880
And 1 more person on this record

there's also this birth entry

Thomas J Harris Mother's Maiden Name: Stanfield
Mar 1915 Birmingham   Warwickshire
Volume:   6d Page:   553
