On the 1911 Census George Harbage age 49 a brass worker is at home ( 99 Ruston St, Ladywood, Birmingham, Warks ) with wife Jane and family. By 1920 Jane is living on her own bringing up the kids. She never talks about him, even to the children. What became of George?????

How died: Died Theatre of war: Mesopotamia Supplementary Notes:

My understanding is that wife Jane never talked about him ever again. The children Wilfred , Leonard etc did not ever see him ever again or knew what happened to him. George was born Oldswinford in abt 1863 ( cannot find his birth ). He is also not on the 1871 Census and I cannot find his death. Beginning to think he emigrated!

Hi,
yes I looked at the war dead. The gentleman that died in Iran does not have an age listed, but George would have to have been about 54 yrs by 1917.
Jane Harbage did not mention him again..............not the way to treat a war hero.

thanks
Shirley

Surely he'd be too old to be a casualty in WW1?

Possible but says he's a tourist heading to Oak(something?) Ontario. There is an Oakville, Ontario.

Hi,
the needle maker yes. Could be him he worked with brass according to the 1911 Census.
Of course he could have been a bigamist and had two families!!!!
Afraid George may remain a mystery.
Thanks
Shirley

In 1891 he was born in Worcester, Stourbridge so maybe this is him in 1871
