Hello, has any one access to the 1911/1921 census records i recently found a picture written on the back Harold Creasey i just dont have him on my family tree he is pictured in front what look like a gypse caravan. Creasey was my great grand farther name and from the East Grinstead area there is rummer that the family has Gypse connections. Sorry not got any more info on him.
Hope some one can help

Who was your great grandfather - his name and birth year would help and do you know names of his parents or siblings, wife or children

This family maybe??

Looks as though Harold was born illegitimately as per the - under Mother's maiden name on the GRO site. a child of one of James' daughters perhaps?
His birth certificate would show his Mother's name

Looks like Line 4 originally redacted - record for this person is officially closed but maybe opened at some point to show the name of Kenneth. I can't see a Kenneth elsewhere on the page.

thanks everyone now k now Harold was known by the name George his middle name
|
Is there a date on the photo? How old do you think the man in the photo is?
"Harold" might be Ernest Harold 1896, if also known by middle name - and if that's the right family in the censuses posted above.

found him now i know him as George......his name was Harold George Creasey
thanks
