BEALE WILLIAM 1854 57
BEALE ELIZA 1856 55
BEALE WILLIAM J 1887 24
BEALE CONSTANCE J 1895 16
BEALE ELIZA J 1898 13
BEALE EDITH DOWLE 1901 10

Harry in the 1911 census

EASTWOOD HARRY CHARLES EDWARD 1897 14 Ticehurst Sussex

he doesn't seem to be with his family but this is the household in 1901 in Burwash Sussex

George Eastwood 30
Elizabeth Eastwood 29
Lily Eastwood 8
Frederick Eastwood 5
Harry Eastwood 4
Agnes Eastwood 2

living with George and Elizabeth in Burwash in 1901 are

EASTWOOD ALBERT 1901 10
EASTWOOD EARNEST 1905 6 ( Ernest Cecil 1905 Ticehurst )
EASTWOOD FREDERICK 1896 15
EASTWOOD REGEE 1908 3 ( Reginald 1907 Ticehurst )


these are all names you can search trees for to find relations of Harry's and Eliza's brothers and sisters ... their children would have been Douglas's cousins

Harry's wife is shown as Dorothy on the CWGC record ... he had remarried ? but I don't see a second marriage

Harry is shown as Harry C E on the marriage but he is this Harry ?

Births Mar 1897 ( possibly born late 1896 )
Eastwood Harry Charles A Ticehurst

Name: Harry C A Eastwood
Birth Date: abt 1896
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1961
Age at Death: 65
Registration district: Surrey North Eastern
Inferred County: Surrey
Volume: 5g
Page: 664

he is probably in two trees at this site ... 'search trees' is always the first thing to do here as jax says

Harry Eastwood 1897 Burwash Sussex Engla...
Harry Eastwood 1896 Sussex, England


this is most probably Eliza ?

Births Dec 1897
Beale Eliza Jane S. Stoneham 2c 52

and that birth matches this death

Name: Eliza Jane Eastwood
Birth Date: 27 Aug 1897
Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1978
Age at Death: 80
Registration district: Chiltern & Beaconsfield
Inferred County: Buckinghamshire
Volume: 19
Page: 1170

possibly Harry and Eliza were estranged before Douglas's death


the parents' death certificates could be signed by a familiy member but the information would be long out of date now ...

Mother's Maiden Surname: Beale
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1924
Registration district: Greenwich
Inferred County: Greater London

when I did not see a death record in the index I looked at the CWGC site ... you probably know this of course but for the info of anyone who might help

I am trying to find a direct relation to the above, his father was Harry C Eastwood born in Burwash Sussex 1897
His Mother was Eliza J Beale ,they were married in Greenwhich in sep 1920
Douglas married Irene Burrows but they had no children. I have some photographs of Douglas and would like to return tem to the family if possible.

I beleive he was an only child but a cousin was best man at his wedding, I am making my headache trying to solve this I do not want to destroy these pics :-)
