harman1932

Thank you mikeb - I looked at this and google maps, amazing to see where my ancestors lived all those years ago :-)

GSJ57 I've had another look at my infor and think more and more that you are right - the electoral rolls show William and Hannah with Sidney and Frank through the 1930s at Fernie House. I have ordered Frank's birth certificate to confirm his mother's name. Carole

Yes I'm 100% sure there is no money in my family history!!

After you explain it this way yes it does make sense - I feel really stupid because I've come across this record several times before and discarded the diea that they could be my Harmans because of Sidney and Frank, and even though I knew he remarried to Hannah Rivett it didn't occur to me that the addresses were so close! Thank you very much - I will be busy tonight exploring this more :-) Vik - thank you to you also. You have all been very helpful. Carole

Apologies if you have already read this in another area, someone kindly suggested I might get a wider audience here. Hi, I am new to this forum and searching for any information about my family's history. I live in West Yorkshire so have difficulty in accessing it other than online. My great grandfather was Frederick Harman, born in Camberwell. He fought in WW1 then moved here. I would love to find information about his siblings and find living relatives if possible. His father was William Harman and lived at Fernie House, Dog Kennel Hill for the last few years of his life (he died in the 1940s). Frederick had a half brother called Albert who married Emily, and they had a son also called Albert. I know that he lived at 1 Fernie House also for most of the 1940s and 50s. I assume that Fernie House is no longer there as I can't see it on any recent maps. Frederick had a sister called Jane who I believe married a Samuel Garbutt in 1921, and they had several children. If anyone knows of any information that might help me find Harman folk from the area I would be most grateful. Regards Carole

Thank you but that's a different family - William was the father, and as well as Frederick there was William, Harry and Jane. I had a look on google maps and couldn't see Fernie House, but I'm not very good at navigating so I'll have a look at the site you suggested, thank you. That would be great if you could email a photo. Thanks again Carole PS I have to say it is lovely that people on here have been so helpful :-)

Thank you very much for your research, I had found this info via ancestry but struggle to get much further with it. Yes it is my family tree you saw on ancestry. What I really need to do is get down there and find the parish records myself but never seem to have the time. I have been researching the Harmans for several years now and it makes it more difficult that my great grandad, his father and siblings are not on the 1911 census, plus his miltary records were destroyed by the fire at the War Office!! So I have a gap from 1901 and 1918 when he got married here in Yorkshire. If you were to come across any other information I would be forever in your debt. Thank you again. Carole
