If Harold died in 1947 then 3 of the children shown can not be his

Unless Lydia remarried in 1950 but then he would not be a Dawson

George why do you think there was a son called Dennis ?

Thankyou and Harold had children including my great nan with his first wife sorry her means escapes me either Beatrice or Mabel then she died and in about 1945 he had a thing with my nans best friend Lydia Jarvis who got pregnant. An old aunt of mine told me that Harold married Lydia but never lived with her. The son who she remembers as Dennis or now she tells me Robert was in the name of Dawson, Lydia and the boy lived in grove park at that time my aunt said they had contact for a little while until my great nans aunts (her mothers sisters) got involved and wouldn't have anything to do with Lydia and the boy so contact stopped. My nan lost her best friend and half brother but didn't have the nerve to go against the aunts. When she got older she often said that she wanted to find the boy so she could say sorry for not sticking up for him more etc that's why I want to find him to tell him thanks everyone <3
