Henry Norman “Harry” “Hadd” Hamilton

Birth Name Henry Norman “Harry” “Hadd” Hamilton
Nick Name Harry
Gender male
Age at Death 69 years, 1 month, 10 days

Narrative

Nothing for Harry in Pittsburgh City Directories in 1914 or 1918. Nothing in Cleveland for 1918. His wife's death record (1929) said she had been in Cleveland for 12 years. Harry was the informant.

April 2021, I requested Allegheny County to look for their marriage record in about 1909. I received this reply: "The Allegheny County Department of Court Records has not found any marriage records related to your request."
