Hello list,
Believe it or not I finally have tracked down,or I
should say Peter WOOD has tracked down,Harry's birth
certificate.So you won't have to listen to me whining
anymore,at least not for a while.Harry's parents were
Harry WOOD and Elizabeth CLARK.They were living at 23
Fryston Place.I have looked on a couple of map sites
for the address and I found a Fryston Rd. in
Castleford and a Fryston Lane in Knottingley but no
Fryston Place,anyone heard of it? I'm assuming it is
probably near Bradford,Yorkshir
