Happy Easter to everyone it was lovely to get up this Easter Sunday morning and find so much interest in Harry. Have never had such a good set of replies. I have been researching Harry for a year or so, on and off and exhausted the Aussie end - and myself at times, put it away for a while and then come back to it as working on over 50 solders. If anyone has Aussie soldiers to research, ask us. We have all his military records etc that is where we start from, and have all his extended family in Australia, just trying to home in on his grandfather Moffitt looking for brothers or male cousins of James. we are also researching Harry's mother's side in England (Rebecca Susannah MINNS b 1852 Chelsea, London) and finding brick walls there also. Happy if anyone wants to have a go at that one. Fresh eyes find all sorts of variations. All help and ideas are great. We dearly need to find at least one side of Harry's dna. We work in family trees but also work in dna charts. (I can send a dna chart and full family tree to anyone off list, if interested) Harry's death was observed and recorded - see "Red cross missing and wounded" on line. he was seen falling dead across his deceased commanding officer who has been identified by DNA. So we have great hope of identifying Harry if we can find the dna trail. For those who are interested in WW1 and Harry. There is a BBC/ABC series called ANZAC GIRLS, it came out last year (from a book) - about Nurses in WW1. The heroine in this is Alice Ross KING. I had been researching Alice for her family, and was also researching Harry. No idea of a connection. Harry then pops into the series as the love interest. I thought at first it was a name coincidence, and then as the story developed, I thought they had taken a bit of license with my Harry as of course I knew he was going to die. But then spoke to the family and they said, no, its all in Alice's diary! All true. He was the one. There is now a face book made to 10 Aussies from the great war, it treats them as though they are living and you can ask them questions.

Not sure how detailed Rev's death cert will be or his wife's.. It's only €4.00 so won't break the bank. Plus there's the descendant's of Rev's sister to follow up to see if any are around today. Plus.. Did Harry's sister marry a Graham in Ireland or Oz??

Harry had two sisters Mary and Ethel Ethel married Rev Herbert Williams, they had four children - one daughter who married but had no issue. So no dna there. Mary - I have not found a marriage or death for her.
