I have Harold Mellor born c1930 at Chadderton Lancashire,
Is there any way I can find parents, siblings etc?
I know it's not much to go on but I'd be grateful for any help please.

Theres a Harold born in 1929,1930 & 1933

You might be best to start with his M/C to get his Dads name

Sandra, I'm not sure that I should be posting this info because these people are likely still living. If you will copy the info then I will delete my posts.

Couldn't find the Mellor/Stott marriage though. Wonder if she might have been previously married so married under her first married name but her children were registered with her maiden name.
