On the above 1950 ER you will see a William H Inchley living with an Alice F Snow.

In 1927 Harry & Alice May had a son William H, he is the William H who appears with Alice F in 1950 & 55.

He wouldn't have been eligible to vote until 1948 so 1950 is the first time he will appear.

Hi everyone,

I'm not sure if this was posted before, but here are details of William's birth from findmypast:-

Here are details of his death in 2007 from findmypast as well:-

There is also a marriage record for a William Inchley & Jill Wilson, married in 1947, possibly the same William living with his grandmother Alice F Snow in 1950:-

In 1911 Harry is with Alice in Birmingham and using the name Rumble. They have 5 children. There  was another one who died.

Hi everyone, I'm back on rootschat (been away from it for quite a while!) & recently came across some information from familysearch.org to confirm the above quote. Harry & Alice had a daughter, their first-born, in 1900, named Gladys May Rumble. She died as an infant, barely a month old.

Regards 😊

Hi Nodrog50,

It's good to hear from you again!

Yes I noted the confusion, and sent "Jensam" a personal message to correct a few things.

At least now we have a connection to the Canada side of the family, and possible further information about whatever happened to Harry Hales may be forthcoming in the future.

It appears as though the user "Missgalaxy" (to whom I sent the previous same long message as yourself) has their inbox showing as "full" so I'll try sending it again until they receive it.

Thank you for the 1921 Census entry. As I'm having a little trouble reading it (even after enlarging the text!) could you confirm the following please:-

1. The title of the 2nd column is "Relationship to Head of Household" - what does it say next to Minnie Hales (under Harry Rundle) - "housekeeper"?;

2. I can't quite read the title of the 5th column, however, next to Harry Rundle's entry it looks like "widower" and next to Minnie Hales' entry it looks like "widow"? It's hard to believe next to Leslie Rundle's entry it says "Mother dead" - jim1 had discovered Alice Maud died in 1936! Like you said, Alice was "very much alive in 1921"!

3. The very last entry at No. 9 seems to read "no name" or "not named", a son - that entry would be my maternal grandfather, Joseph John Rundle.

Frederick Hales (2nd son of Minnie Inchley and Harry Hales) is missing from this Census entry. He was born in 1906, making him 15 years old at the time.

Did finding out that your grandmother's brother Leslie was on this Census come as a surprise to you? It's quite possible then that some of Alice Maud's other children spent some time with Harry Rundle and Minnie Inchley, maybe Nellie as well.

Hi Jensam,

I hope you've had a chance to read the other messages I sent you recently, including the rather lengthy thread on Harry Rundle which includes bits and pieces of information on Maurice Henry Hales.

Did your grandmother recall anything about her father at all, any information she may have passed on to your own mother or even yourself?

He appears to be quite an elusive character from about 1909/1910 onwards. The only seemingly concrete evidence that he died between 1909/1910 - 1923 was the fact that on our great-grandmother Minnie's death certificate, it was stated she was a widow.

His older brother Frederick ended up in living in Coventry, as did his & Minnie's first-born son (born in 1903), Harry Jr., after his wife died. It leaves me wondering whether Coventry was the place Maurice Henry Hales ended up in too, and he perhaps died there.

Regards
