Hi Margaret, I found a marriage for Harry on Family Search - transcribed below. You probably ignored the entry in the GRO Index because it's so way out of his original area. But, as you can see, there is a reason for that: 1895 Marriage solemnized at the Parish Church in the Parish of St George Hulme in the County of Manchester No 451 May 27th 1895 Harry James HARVEY, 21, bachelor, Private 6th Dragoons, Hulme Barracks, [son of] James HARVEY, millwright Mabel Laura LOCKYER, 24, spinster, 11 King Street, [dau of] James LOCKYER, seaman Married in the Church of St George according to the Rites and Ceremonies of the Established Church after Banns by me, Geo. C. Ranston M.A., Curate [Both parties sign] In the presence of us, John Smith, Martha Moss There is a service record (WO97/3003/1) available for him on FindMyPast which seems to show that he bought himself out of the 6th Dragoons early in 1896. He gives his birthplace as Selmeston - which I notice is where his baptism took place. By the 1901 Census Harry and Mabel are living in Scotland at 28 Lochend Road West, Edinburgh. Harry is listed as Henry J and is now a railway porter. Mabel says that she was born in Japan (and that agrees with an entry for a Mabel Lockyer in 1891 in Manchester working as a servant and saying that she was born in Yokahama, Japan). They have a son, Frank J Harvey, aged 4, born Edinburgh. Harry is still in Edinburgh in 1911 - this time listed (at least on Scotlands People anyway) as Harry J. Hope all this helps!

I know this has nothing to do with me as an innocent bystander, but I just have to say what a brilliant piece of detective work Lara!

How do you get so much information from familysearch? This was fascinating. Well done If you like puzzles can you find the parents of Benjamin Bassett born in Lewes, Sussex in 1807- his parents are listed as Henry Bassett and Ann. Benjamin died in 1881 in Chailey and was buried in St Peters Chailey. This is a huge brick wall.
