J.T Harrison
« on: Tuesday 12 December 17 17:27 GMT (UK) »
Is anyone researching the Harrison family of Salford? I am looking for information on J.T. Harrison who was Chairman of the Park's Committee in 1938.

Many thanks.

If you Google " Previous mayors - Salford City Council" it lists John Harrison  1938-39. Could this be your man?

Free BMD has two deaths registered in Salford, 1940-60 in the name of John T Harrison. June 1945, aged 75,  Sept 1947, aged 68.

From Find a Will. John Thomas Harrison  of Wellington Street West, Salford. Husband of Agnes Maud. 1945
                              John Thomas Harrison of West Clowes Street, Salford. Widow Bertha. 1947.

That's really helpful brentor boy and amazingly quick!

I'm sure he will be the one who became Mayor.  I'm hoping to trace a descendant to invite them to an event. I'll see how much further I can get.

Kay which 1939 register are you thinking of?

Thanks,
Elaine.

This may help when you check the 1939 Register, as ARP responsibilities are usually noted on the right hand side:

Salford Council to-day appointed the Mayor (Councillor J. T. Harrison) as Controller of A.R.P. in time of emergency.

If you are looking for a living relative of J T Harrison, have you considered making an appeal via the Letters page of the local Salford/ Manchester press?

Is the reason for your quest sufficiently newsworthy to engage the interest of local radio?

It is quite possible that some family members still live locally.

Can anyone with access to the 1939 register confirm if either the deaths noted in #2 are relevant ? This should not contravene conditions of use.

The more you know of  JTH, the more you can bulk out your story.
