William Harris, my grandfather, went missing from his family during the war, and never returned. Only in the last year have I learned that he had not died in the war as suspected by my father, but William had lived until 1982 in North Wales, and owned an antique business in Caernarfon in the 50âs. William retired to Llandudno.
Sophia who used to work for William Harris in his antique shop, has sent me an old business card by email. It was called the âRegent Antique Co.â Along with some photos they make an interesting story to publish here on my website. Thank you Sophia.

…And they met this weekend for the very first time EVER… and a week ago neither of them knew the other even existied.
I just want to proudly announce that Martin Goodall and Ronald Harris, half brothers, both blood sons to William Harris, son of Lionel Harris, met for the first time ever this weekend. Actually, not only did the brothers meet, but the families met for the first time. Â It was a wonderful, Â overwhelming experience for everyone involved, and a lot to take in for Martin who had been wanting to find blood relatives ever since he learned he had been adopted. Now the flood gates are open and the information (from this website and other sources) is pouring in for him.
There is no doubt, there are documents for proof, and the photos say it all anyway..
Watch this space for the full story and photos! Â They will be published later this week … subscribe to receive email updates to stay informed see link in the header.
Oh and of course I will be updating (and correcting) the Harris Family Tree too. I have a whole family to add now as Martin David Goodall (son of William Harris) Â is a grandfather … Welcome to the family Martin ! đ

NEW POST (posted 30th November 2010) Â ->Â THE FULL STORY
William Harris has Two Living Sons – HALF BROTHERS Â meet for the first time
I cant believe I haven’t posted this story yet – better late than never… so here goes…
My father met his new found second cousin, David Harris, back in June this year (2010) . For the first time ever!! Â A year ago neither never knew the other existed. Â And David has since also met up with Sophia who lives in Wales, they had been friends and had lost touch when David was a very young boy.
Ron and David, and the rest of us met up for the very first time in Guildford town center, for a lovely meal. Â I have one photo from this great meeting, it was a lovely evening, and non of us stopped talking and it was all over far too quickly. Â oh and David Harris is the one with the tash, and my father is the one without.
