Harvey/ Watkin family
« on: Friday 02 February 18 14:22 GMT (UK) »
I am struggling to find any information on this side of my family.

 So far I know of Harry Harvey who had 6 children with Elizabeth Watkin between the years 1946 and 1956. I know Elizabeth was married once before with 2 children but I don't know anything about her previous husband other than he died before she married Harry.They lived in Rotherham.

 In her first marriage, she had 2 sons. While married to Harry they had 6 children between 1946 and 1956.

 Harry died before or around 1975. Elizabeth was born 21 January 1912 and died March 1980.
Harvey, Hawes, Theaker, Senior, Watkin, Slack, Simmons, Hague, Hillery, Graver, Houldershaw, Catchpole, Nixon, Evison, Weeden/Weedon.

Hi Jess

Rootschat is for finding out about our historic ancestors not people who are likely to be alive and we have a 'no living people' policy here.

Please can you use the modify button to edit your post and remove the names of people who were born after 1917 who you know haven't died yet.

Thanks

Hi,

Elizabeth Watkin married George J Herbert
q3 1934 Rotherham
Vol 9c Page 1855

Free search of the 1939 register has Elizabeth Herbert living in Rotherham with George (b.1910) and Kenneth (b.1936) I presume Kenneth must no longer be with us as his record is open.
