    Although not given in the registration index the address is known because the compiler of this record (Jack Ward aka Jack Richmond) was living there at the time as an evacuee and Harry was his uncle by marriage. At the time Jack felt responsible for his death because some time before he was walking behind his Uncle Harry's armchair carrying a heavy book and couldn't resist bumping Harry's bald head with the book. Harry was surprised and hurt and Jack got a round ticking off. Jack had to be reassured after Harry's death that he wasn't responsible.
