GabrielC Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I might have found a death date for Harry Taylor using the FreeBMD site . A Harry Taylor died in March 1959 aged 71 years at Sheffield. If this is the right person then Harry was born in 1888 would make him 26 in 1914 by the time he was interviewed by ' Daily Mirror' he would be 51. With Harry been deaf that could either born like that or injured in World War One. If no one can recall him been alive in the 1960s then this entry fits. Again this only a guess without knowing his birth year for certain can not say it is him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The death entry should be June 1960 not March 1959 year of birth would be 1889 not 1888. In 1914 Harry would be 24/25, in 1939 50 years old.

Michael Proctor Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I can remember seeing him when I was going to school in the 1950s at whitby Road juniors, he was trying to persuade the lollipop man to have a go on the crossing by offering him his pocket watch !. He always appeared to be smartly dressed , I think kids were wary of him mainly because he dressed differently from their own parents and grandparents. There was another darnall character I think people called him Joe Bug does anyone recollect him he always dressed in old tattered clothes and was dark bearded the only place I saw him was on Darnall Main Road heading into darnall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
