Harold Thomas Beach

When Arnold Beach died in 1941, his son Harold was living in Islington, so it is assumed that Harold is the same one who married as Thomas Harold Beach in Hamilton in 1940, although that marriage notice had Harold "son of Mrs. S. Beach and the late Mr. Beach". Bridget Beach, his mother, had died 1940. To be clarified.
