Harry Willson Cawrse

GEDCOM Note

According to Ray Henry research, Harry W. Cawrse changed his last name from Wilson to Cawrse in 1933. His father, Elwin Wilson, disappeared one day when Harry was a baby and was not heard from for "ten or so years". He may have suffered from amnesia during this time.

The Cleveland City Directory for 1929, published by The Cleveland Directory Co., Cleveland, Ohio, Copyright 1929, vol. LVIV, pg. 519, shows a Harry Cawrse, driver, living at 3861 Silsby Rd., Westpark area of Cleveland, Cuyahoga Co., Ohio. If, according to Ray Henry, Harry had been born Harry Wilson, and changed his name in 1933 (year he married Isa), is it possible this is the same Harry Cawrse?
