That was quick grangers. Wonder where Elizabeth is. She was the widow of Jason Homer with a maiden name Harris. So who are the Hacketts?

Looks like it was Dorothy Homer who married James T Hackett in 1937...
I've been looking for Elizabeth but not come across her yet.

Looks like it is this family on BCC...

Looks like it is missing some information

This thread also connects to this thread, with the Dean and Pitt families

viewtopic.php?f=29&t=21901

I'll put all the info you, jimmy and myself have found onto BCC as it's a shame for it all to go to waste. Jo, could you please put on the subject lines that I'll be adding to BCC please? Thanks

I will move this over to Black Country section.

Thanks Jo.

I can't add anything on this thread to BCC as it's all the 1939 Register.

Wrong thread then, sorry.
My fault
I will add some things that we can...

I think I have added all I can do for now...
Archive?

I found Jason Homer in WW1 records and his wife is down as Elizabeth. He was KIA.

Thats, strange? I was just looking, the GRO has Jason Bomford and Mothers surname as Harris registered 4th quarter but there is also a death Jason Bomford born 1907 registered in 3rd quarter??
So what info did you find on Jason?

On the register of personal effects it says wife Elizabeth.

When John Pugh (1886-1958) was demobbed he wrote to the army to give a change of address ie. 66 Beehive St Graingers Lane Cradley Heath. Johns marriage to Elizabeth Homer, widow, in 1920 gives her address as 66 Beehive St, her father Roland Harris.

The only other info I have of Jason is in the censuses.
