I am a member of the Coverdale family (my maiden name)....although I have found quite a few descendants of the family, I am always trying to tie the pieces together...I had a great Uncle by the name of Harry Coverdale, but, sadly, don't know anything about him and his descendants. If you don't mind, may I ask the background of your father, where he was born etc...
Kind regards, Lee (Coverdale) Harker.

Hi Lee
I am responding on behalf of Charlie Coverdale.
His dad, Harry, was born in Southend in 1888. In 1910 he lived in Brighton and worked in the licencing trade.

Hi Lee and Charlie, not sure if I am related to the same Coverdale but my great grandfather was Harry Coverdale of Brighton, England. He was a sgt and I saw pics of him on horseback many years ago in family albums. He was in the Boer War as a young man and WWI later on. I know he was born in London and moved the family to the Brighton coast. He ran a jewelry shop. My mother (Shirley) was his grand daughter. My grand mother was Rene (Irene), sister of Nora, Hetty, Johnny, Pat and Harry Jr.. My mother emigrated to Canada in 1957 and, well, here I am. Does any of this put us in the same family or are there 2 Harry Coverdale's with 2 very similar backgrounds?
