HarryBrook Posted 22 May , 2016 Share Posted 22 May , 2016 Some family history:- In the 1911 census Harry Seager was living at 12, Prospect Grove, Gravesend, he was 22, single, born Gravesend, and a carpenter by trade. His father was Charles Larking Seager (1859 - 1931), a master mariner, and his mother was Eliza (1862 - 1936). When Charles Larking Seager died on 22.5.1931 his probate record gave his address as 10, Stuart Road, Gravesend (the same address for correspondence as on the M.I.C. for Harry Bernard Seager). As plain Harry Seager he married Lilian Olive Arnold in 1932 in the Medway, Kent District. He was listed in the 1939 Register at 5-7, Victoria Road, Thurrock - Harry B. Seager born 10.7.1889, married, traveller (builder's merchant). Lilian O. Seager born 10.5.1904, married, unpaid domestic duties. A Harry B. Seager born about 1889 died in the June quarter of 1956 in the Croydon, Surrey District. There is no probate record available to check on the full name of the deceased.

The Inspector Posted 23 May , 2016 Share Posted 23 May , 2016 (edited) Hi Tim Here is a pic. of Lilian Olive "Cissy" Seager nee Arnold Regards Barry Weston Family Tree (2) on Ancestry. NOTE This and other trees have Harry's middle initial as H not B. Lillian's father's service records are also on Ancestry which confirm her d of b. (Henry George Bartlett Arnold Pte M/296316 RASC) Harry H Seager died aged 69 yrs in 1960 at Dartford, Kent. 5b.369. A number of trees include this detail. All check out with the marriage. There was a son Harry A.C.Seager born 1932 Medway 2a,1333 he died 7th April 2016 at Fakenham, Norfolk. Can not find ANY reference other than those posted above and the medal award rolls to Harry's middle initial/ name Bernard....very strange!!

HarryBrook Posted 24 May , 2016 Share Posted 24 May , 2016 Barry, Without turning this into a family history forum, it has to be said, and I am sure you will agree, some of the trees on ancestry are notoriously inaccurate and various tree builders copy off other trees and perpetuate and extend errors. The age of Harry H. Seager who died in 1960, Dartford District, is given as 69, so born about 1891. There is a probate record for a Henry Harry Seager who died 11 June 1960 at 121, St. Mark's Avenue, Northfleet, Kent. His executor was Florence Sarah Outred widow. In the 1939 Register Harry B. Seager gave his D.O.B. as 10.7.1889, and his wife was Lilian O. Seager, so it can be taken that this is the Harry Bernard Seager of interest. Also the probate record residence address for Charles Larking Seager links the M.I.C. for Harry Bernard Seager to the Harry Seager, born 1889, in the 1911 census quoted in post #5. I appreciate the West tree has a photo of Lilian Olive Seager, but the part relating to her husband looks a bit dubious to me. Without complicating matters further, there is a Henry Harry Seager born in Kent 1886 floating about the records. Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
