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

There is still a Fernie House in the estate, on Quorn Road here:

And picture of Fernie House attached from Google Street View.


Good luck with your research.

Actually, if you're interested, the railings that you can see in the foreground of the photo are supposed to be second world war stretchers - more detail here:

    • What worries me is all the talk of these foreign architectural styles.  Art Deco (French) and Art  Noveau (Belgium - can you even name ten famous poeple from Belgium),   Thank heavens for good old British Arts and Crafts, harking back to previous times.   What do you think those who are asset poor and cash poor may think?  Don't you feel there is a case for evening things out? Get real.  There are numerous anti-Labour threads and a few of you who clearly hate everything Labour, no doubt going back decades.  Not everyone of course who have posted on this weird thread has such strong views.   For balance there are a lesser number of threads on other political parties and a former prime minister, but they attract far less traffic, and one person seems to go out of their way to defend Farage
    • There is a possibility that poor air quality leads to adult onset asthma.  The Lancet did not confirm this and stated that more work was required.  10,000s of deaths are linked to poor air quality.  Surely it is good that our Mayor wants to further improve air quality.  That is the important aim, rather than pick holes in what he said.      
    • Anyone know what’s happening to the space where Megan’s was? Tried the qr code not still none the wiser.
    • There's an indicative map here of whi falls foul. Sevreal dozen in SE 22ml. I dont think this is up to date though. And by the time the government have done their "independent" valuations I think we can expect a lot more to fall into this tax trap.   https://taxpolicy.org.uk/2025/11/27/mansion-tax-map-where-the-money-comes-from/
