I have met a person with the name Clive Marfell Harris (3rd cousin once removed) he had a brother Philip Marfell Harris and their parents were Edgar Harris 1905 Cinderford & Beatrice Ada Marfell 1906 Ruardean. I know nothing of the parents of Edgar Harris 1905, but it would be interesting if there is a connection.

I have sent you an email via the web site, perhaps you could get in touch.
