Hello everyone,
This is my first posting to the list.I am helping a friend research her
husband's uncle's family and as she doesn't have a PC, I'm doing the
online research for her.
I'm hoping there may be someone on the list who lives in Rhyl and can
help with the following :
Murry HARPER was born in 1905.His birth cert states that he was born
at the Palace Hotel,West Parade,Rhyl and his mother gave her address as
12 Greenbank,Rhyl.I've been able to find the hotel but had no luck locating
Greenbank.I'm hoping that there may be someone who can tell me where it
is or was.
Murry's parents were Morris James HARPER,an upholsterer and Sarah Jane
HARPER,late HALL,formerly SPRATT.They were married sometime between
1896 and 1905 but I've been unable to find any trace of their marriage
entry in
the GRO indexes or any sign of them in the 1901 census.Morris was b 1872 in
Warwickshire and Sarah was b 1870 in Lancashire.I've no idea how they came
to be living in Rhyl.There were 4 more sons born after Murry,all
registered under
St Asaph,so they were in the area until at least 1912 when the last son
was born.
After that ,at some time they moved to the Isle of Man.
Any help will be gratefully received !!
Many thanks,
Cheers
Kath
