None, am trying to rule him in or out, and I don’t think he is a relation now after reading all the replies, it’s to do with my other long post regarding the Potter/Jenkins step family.

Harold Jenkins is such a common name - what evidence do you have to suggest that anyone of the name is connected to your family?

Thank you AG, I am still studying all this at the moment, many thanks.

Hi Malyon, thank you, I hadn’t heard of it before, very interesting and one for my favourites.

deborah i got the deaths in war on here go to search the armed forces and conflick best look on cwgc site more information on there

Thank you Erika that’s good to know, didn’t know that.

ALL WW1 and WW2 combat deaths are on the CWGC site - plus civilian WW2 casualties

Thanks Malyon, where did you get that information from, I thought we couldn't get those records yet.

The hospital entry I found had very limited information, didn't say whether he died or not. Didn't actually say much at all.

there are 3 harold jenkins killed in the 2nd world war

Thank you Mary.

Hannah may have been a daughter, or his sister. Or nothing at all to do with it.

This is the trouble, all the information I have seems to be a bit too vague, not enough to piece it together so as to be sure about it. I also found a WW11 hospital entry for a Harold Jenkins born appx 1908, this Harold was in the RAF, just not enough detail to go on.

Looks like there might be some connection there. However I can't find a marriage of a Harold Jenkins to a Hannah at a suitable time.

Noted Kathleen thank you, "Probate" Hannah Jenkins, 40 Gurnos Road, died 18th August 1976. Might just be a coincidence. Wouldn't let me C & P.

The address of the Harold Jenkins who died in 1978 was:-

71 Gurnos Road, Gurnos Estate, Merthyr Tidfil

This from his probate record.

Just found that one to, also found a possible 1911 census with him with his grandparents surname of Lewis, such a pity he hasn't got a middle name.

I will do another search using Phillips as MMN

This could be the Harold born 1907:-
