• Notes

  Mother's maiden name Reid in birth record. Reminiscences of Harold's life as a boatman appear in a 'Looking Back' item in Clogs & Gansey, the Leeds and Liverpool Canal Society newsletter (No 57, Autumn 2023) - including a whimsical tale about the origin of his mother-in-law's pub name in Grimshaw Park (see notes in her record, Sarah Alice Greenwood, nee Halstead).
