For a start Nicholas was born in 1926 not 1924.

If you look at the 1939 register (we are not allowed to provide details from it for you) but it is on FindMyPast and Ancestry you can see the family.  Three, presumably Nicholas and two others are redacted (blacked out) but you can see the girls and the surnames of the people they married. So you should be able to find their marriages using. FreeBMD.org.uk.

Also their full dates of birth are there so that will help with finding their deaths if they died after the date where that appears on the lists.

Also, on FindMyPast are the newspapers and it looks as though they are a family who did put notices in.  So in 1942 there is a birth of a son to Mr & Mrs A (formerly Elsie Harding) Dodsworth.

And another in 1950 which gives name of daughter and where they were living at the time.

Although he fell 30 ft from the roof
Of a house, Nicholas Harding, 13 of 61
Victor street, was found to be uninjured
When he was taken to Monkwearmouth
Hospital last night.

Apparently Harding had climbed on to
The roof to look at his pigeons and
missed his footing.

Thanks for all the information that you manage to find. I have spoken to my mother who knows little about her grandfather Nicholas family of siblings she just knows that there is only one living relative left...she thinks.
