Harold Wanless (b 1905)

[Printer]

Hello,

I am seeking details about Harold Wanless (b 1905 NSW?).

Harold was the s/o Thomas & Nellie G  (nee Wilson) Wanless who married in 1894 in Sydney. There were 5 children that I am aware of. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you.

I have a few Wanless names in my line starting with a Mary Wan(d)less born 1800. I had really not paid to much attention to the name but what surprised me that the vast majority of people with the name came from just north of the River Tyne in Northumberland, (County) to just south of the River Tees Yorkshire (County). with a good showing around the River Wear (County Durham). For the first hundred years of civil registration in England/Wales 1837-1937 the name dominates in these three areas.

Hello barryd,

The Wanless One-Name Study website is a wonderful place to find any of your Wan(d)less ancestors. I am trying to find out what happened to Harold Wanless in Australia.

Harry Garth WANLESS appears on the NSW Electoral Roll to 1980
Wife Dulcie Olga is with him.


He lived in the suburbs of Sydney with various occupation including toolmaker and milkbar proprietor.

I am happy to type up the listings if they are of interest to you.

From 1963, Dulcie Olga is not at the address which agrees with the divorce finding.
Sharing  the addresses after this  is Joyce Rubina WANLESS.
