Hi John

To avoid confusion, i have deleted all my post's that were duplicated.

Mel...........No, .....i have never heard of "Zinc the Metal"

Thanks once again for all your efforts. I'm certain now that 'May ' is actually Eliza, as everything is falling into place.

I'm new to this, and I am very impressed how eager you all are to help.

Gladys Cherry, Alfred & Mary Harris are on the electoral together at 28 Ingledew Road from 1929 - 1947.

Then from 1948 - 1957 it's just Gladys Cherry & Alfred Harris. (Death of Mary/May? [Eliza Mary] posted above by GlitterBaby).

From 1958 Gladys Cherry is living on her own.

How have you got back to MAY Cherry ??

Thanks everyone. The first reply is the correct family, which I had already found, and was reported in the 1911 census as consisting of 13 children, 8 of whom survived. I have the names of 12, but this 'May' eludes me. It may be that this was the name she was known by, and she eventually lived with Gladys. Thanks for all your efforts.
