When i was told he died young i wrongly presumed he must of died in conflict although not proof as of yet to back this up - thanks reggie

If he had a 'career' in the Royal Marines, there is no necessity to consider his involvement in any conflict

I will put this to my new found relative

The William Richard S. that Choccy posted looks quite promising, I think.

I am in touch with a family member Reggie and im in the process of finding out this information but they are new to this

If you don't have his birth cert, you can't be sure who his parents were - and even then.....................

**
As above

His parents are William Harrison and Jane Roberts c1906-1996.

could he have been born William Richard Stephen Harrison ?

You say he was your gt. grandmother's sister's son? What was her name and her sister's name?

Edit: Sorry, Mark, stupid question, you gave parents' names. My excuse, early morning here, hadn't had my coffee yet, brain not in gear!

His mother was born in Waterloo. lancs so west derby could be a poss yes

possibly also another conflict and not necessarily ww2 due to age as you say

I see what you mean yes Margee sorry

He must of been illigitimate then with a fairly big gap between the births

bit of long shot but could this be a possible

If he was born after 1934 it's unlikely he was in WW2 after a career in the marines. He would have only been 5 when the war started.

have searched ancestry

i pressume he must of died during ww2 as his sibblings were born 1935/44

his parents married in 1934

Mark, where have you looked for a birth?

When was he supposed to be born, and when did he die?

I have found out that my great grandmothers sister had a son called Stephen Harrison - family information says

Possibly Southport but cannot be certain - Thanks
