Hi,

The death I found (1969) does give a birthdate that matches the one on the birth certificate you mentioned.

Thanks Nany Jan

I am totally stumped with the Lacey thing.  I cannot see how George John on the 1911 census is correct becuase of the age difference.

As there is onlyh 4 years between Nicholas and Alice on there MC.

I cannot find any trace of a Nicholas Lacey or a Harold Henry Harding in the RAF as he was a dispatch rider and cook.

Hello,

I am still confused. Is this right?

George and Peter are the children of Harold Henry and Jane Elizabeth Harding.

You have said this a couple of times. You also have the deaths of this couple in 1970s in Coventry.

So it is back to Nicholas Lacey and Alice Lavinia White.

You say you have that marriage cert. and then said you have Harold Henry's marriage to Alice L  ???

regards
heywood

There is this death:

Nicholas Lacey Coventry 1st quarter 1938 vol 6d page 882  (born abt 1872)

perhaps that would tell you who the informant of death.

I think it's George & Alice who use the Lacey name - especially given there is a birth registration in the Bournemouth area for a Violet Lacey in 1910

BC for Harold Henry in front of me now

Born 17 Dec 1906, 96 Stewart Road.
Father George John Harding Green grocer master
Mother Alice Lavina white

MC for Harold Henry Harding and Jane Elizabeth Plant. George and Peters Parents

Harold Henry Harding 21 years, Batchelor, Mechanic master car mechanic 50 Margaerets Road Coventry Father George Harding deceased.  Married

Married 07 April 1931 Coventry

MC for Nicholas Lacey and Alice Lavina White

Nicholas Lacey 39 years Batchelor, Bricklayer (corporation) 10 Butchers Row Coventry.  Father Thomas Lacey Blacksmith

Alice Lavina White 35 years Spinster, Domestic Maid 10 Butchers Row Coventry.  Father Henry William White deceased bookmaker

Married 01 May 1915, Coventry

I have never been able to find a marriage for a George John Hading and Alice Lavina White,  Electroll Roles in Coventry History Centre show Harold and his sibling living with Nicholas Lacey and Alice Lavina.

To be told today by the eldest son of Harold and Jane that his father great grandfather did not like the name Lacey so changed it to Harding.  Alarm bells are rining something does not add up.

So between the birth of Harold in 1907 and the marraige of Harold in 1915 George John Harding had died.

I feel like I am going round and round in circles trying to get to the bottom of this puzzle.

Othe information I have a Violet White who married an Ablert Gullick, Violet could be a sister to Alice.

It would be a good idea to see what the birth certificate of Violet Lacey shows.

I see the logic there heywood.  I will probably order that next week when pay day arrives.

Sorry about all the confusion and thanks for that information.
