At the same address was a John Thomas HARDINGE.

Mysterious Warden Dies

Warden J.T. Hardinge of 28(?) Beverstock Road and Post 4, has died at the age of 88.  He had been a Warden for 18 months and had been through all the heaviest raids.  He had few friends or known relations and right to the very end held his peace and said nothing about himself.  Post Warden Jones who visited Hardinge in hospital said that he spoke very sparcely about himself and was always something of a mystery.  A neighbour, Mr R. Duly, told how Hardinge overcame many natural difficulties so that he could carry out his duty.  He was cremated yesterday at Pnchley (Finchley?).  Four wreaths were sent from Post 4, and one from Post 3.

The GRO has his age as 65 which tallies with his birthdate in 1939, might be the OCR.

I believe I know who Eleanor was and may be the same person as Irene as I think they have the same day of birth, 24 January, as well as using the name SPEAR.

25 March 1928
Reynold's Newspaper,  London

Mr Frederick Arthur PARSONS, decorator, High Holborn, W.C., v Mrs Eleanor PARSONS.  He was a boy of eighteen at the time of the wedding, and he soon had to complain about his wife's conduct.  They drifted apart and she disappeared for years until discovered to be living with the co-respondent, Harold Forrest in Huddlestone Road, Tufnell Park, North London.

That is all I can see by manipulating the text.  In 1928 Harold and Irene were living at 28 Huddlestone Road, Tufnell Park.  At the same address was a John Thomas HARDINGE. I believe that Frederick filed for divorce at that time because he wanted to remarry.

Where did you get the 49 Upper Park Road info? Interested in looking at that.

It is from the 1921 census and electoral rolls.  The same address is on his service records after discharge.

It's unlikely that Harold Senior fathered Harold Jr because my Mum reports that Harold Senior was very badly injured in the war and didn't return until 1918, so he wasn't in very good condition!

He received his wounds in 1916 and 1917 and was repatriated to England in Jan 1918, discharged in November.  He was at the Upper Park Road address in 1919.

Harold PEMBERTON lived next door at 24 Falkner Square if anyone with access wants to have a look  ;D

There are a number of articles in Oct 1926 about a dispute at an infirmary, but one in particular is badly OCRd and impossible to read but says something about him being born in England and educated in 'Gormley' but I think that is supposed to be Germany.  It is from 26 October 1926 in the Liverpool Echo if anyone is able to also have a look at that to see what it actually says.

They are on electoral rolls in Liverpool at various numbers in Rodney Street with a residential address of 25 Falkner Square, 1921/22.  After that the residential address is The Summit, Caldy (the same as 1939) or Caldy Estate.

Trying to find them in 1921, I went down the rabbit hole with Janie  ;D  She was pretty much the last man standing in her family so ended up with a sizeable estate.  She is referred to with the surname HARRIS in her family's wills but used McBIRNIE herself.  They all lived at Westcliffe House.

...... another form dated 15 March1905 references a Dr Anderson of 1 Ward Terrace, which is only yards from Burlington Road. 

Not that it helps, but here is John ANDERSON in 1901.

When Isaac applied to Edinburgh he said he was born on 5 April 1883

This is the same date of birth he gave in 1939 when he was in Hoylake, Cheshire, so at least he was consistent.  What information did he give about his father on his marriages?
