His parents were married at Liverpool Register Office on May 20, 1931.

His father, Harold Hargreaves, son of master bricklayer Henry Harrison, of 26 Wellington Road, Wavertree, was born on May 28, 1909 and became a ship's steward before coming ashore to drive buses.

Henry was born at 12 Queen Street, West Derby, on January 21, 1882, the son of Edward Harrison, a stone-mason and Elizabeth, daughter of carter and carrier John Hargreaves of Pembroke Place, Liverpool. Edward and Elizabeth were married at Liverpool parish church on May 24, 1868, when both were under age and Edward had not learned to write his own name. He was born on January 13, 1848, at a quarter to one in the morning, in Etna Street, West Derby, where his father, Robert Harrison, a joiner, lived with Edward's mother Jane, born Shepherd.
Harrison is one of the most common forms of "the son of Henry" and is found in records from all over Britain since Henry first became a popular name in the 12th century.
