    1. [Ess] Happy Harry - Southend
    2. Fred
    3. I edit a family history magazine, the Essex Family Historian and I am trying to research, for an article, the life of the Reverend George Wood (Happy Harry) who died in 1974 at the age of 86. Happy Harry preached on Southend Seafront for some 53 years. There is a plaque on City Beach, opposite the Falcon Hotel. Ken Crowe of the Southend museum has found me a photograph. Family History enquiries have stalled because of the numbers of George Wood born in South London in 1888. He may have died in a nursing home in South London or had a property in Leigh. Other than that, a complete man of mystery. Does anyone know more please? Fred
