Baptised 4 Jul 1888 at St Andrews, which was demolished in 1971, but was located on London Road, just in front of Hulland St, so very close to Barrow St. In the 1891 census, the family has moved to 54 Princes St, close to 82 Pear Tree St, where they moved in 1895, and where Harry lived nearly all his life.
