A lesson learned for me winking smiley
I should have written " ... born still in 1941". Or possibly it can be written in yet another way. I learned over the many decades, but a lot already in 1971 while I was living there, that English has a huge selection of words (many more than for instance Dutch), even making things difficult sometimes for authentic Brits winking smiley

A child was apparently born still in 1941 ...

Can I suggest the following wording?

"Nevertheless, the child was apparently born in 1941".

Hope that's right and it helps.

It seems to be classy research into John Ono Lennon's obscure relatives, and now perhaps you can help the rest of us by establishing how all of this is linked to Brian Jones of Cheltenham who was the primary founding member of The Rolling Stones.

Thanks CC!

I wasn't in any way digging into the history of John's obscure relatives to start with, but well, here we are. In a previous mail I wrote that part of my "research" activities was to avoid getting anyone I treasure into trouble. Some people on this site could be ones who could create problems because of selfish reasons. I'm very much aware of that.
Actually I am grateful to Kingbeefuzz, that he moved the subject from Beatles vs Stones to this one, because it helped me to make progress that otherwise maybe would not have happened.
I am currently, since the beginning of this week, patiently waiting for mail input from British governmental people to help me move forward. I was told (through phone tape) that the current corona regulations have put limitations to the amount of work they can do, so patience is required. Believe me, I'm just as exited as several of you, who understand that this all is not sensationally driven.
For one maybe 2000LYFH (or Irix) would be able to figure out some more details in the 1941 journey of the Llangibby Castle ship from Suez, via Cape Town and Trinidad, to Glasgow, like a list of passengers on that long journey. It could tell me a lot.
To Irix: the other day I contacted a former chairman of a Dutch Beatles fanclub to see if he can help me to read the book "John Lennon's letters" to see if it has any details I'm looking for. In all honesty, I don't think it has (John was not really into exact figures, right?), but I have to in order not to miss anything.

There're not much details about John's aunt Harriet, I had the most important data already posted here. I don't own this book, I've read the appropriate sections only via 'Look inside' on [www.Amazon.co.uk] and via the Google Books preview. The Kindle-Edition is just £3.99 and can also be read on many other devices - [www.Amazon.co.uk] .

If it was in 1941 when the child was born - let's say latest end of December 1941 - then the "incident" must have been 9 months before in March 1941. Looks like at that point Harriet & Liela were still in Cairo ....

This NN Harvey appears to be Liela's husband?

Were there any exact dates (day/month) mentioned on the events, like when Hafez died and when the troop ship left from Egypt to England and when it arrived in Lennon's Letters? I doubt it. Maybe it's possible to trace those dates back (war documents?). I'll give it a shot anyway.


Record of Harriet and Lila (4 years old) returning from Egypt. Their Proposed address in the UK is 241 Menlove Ave, Liverpool. They are in 2nd class and have an Egyptian passport. Harriet is listed as a widow...


Name: Harriet Hafez
Arrival Age: 25
Birth Date: 1916
Port of Departure: Suez, Egypt
Arrival Date: 22 Oct 1941
Port of Arrival: Glasgow, Scotland
Ports of Voyage: Suez; Cape Town and Trinidad
Ship Name: Llangibby Castle
Shipping Line: Union-Castle Mail Steamship Company Ltd
Official Number: 161329
Household Members



Actual 1941 ship log of Harriet and Lila. Also three other passenger entries.

Thanks Irix, CaptainCorella and 2000LYFH !!!

Based on your info Irix, any "incident" must indeed have happened in Cairo and my guess is around January 1941. I also looked at the list of Masters of the Llangibby Castle and surprise ... no Master name is mentioned from 12/1940 till 11/1941 ?!?

And CC, is anything written about when Ali B. Hafez died? Apperently an accident (war related, car related?) And anything on Harriet during the remaining period in Cairo before she left for the UK on August 10, 1941?

And 2000LYFH, the image that you added is crashed on my screen. You mention three other passengers (maybe just as easy to write them down?) ? But a list of army men is not available?

Great reseach!

A medical accident - sepsis after a routine tooth extraction - [www.Amazon.co.uk] . No date mentioned.

Ali B. Hafez passed away in 1939 - [www.myHeritage.com] .

It's a sizeable book - 390 pages.

Before I set about this you'll have to tell me, or remind me, where this is all leading.

How will this investigation of Lennon's ancestry determine any link to Brian Jones?

Clear answer please.

Could be a similar story like John Lennon's half-sister Victoria/Ingrid from a Welsh soldier - [en.Wikipedia.org] . In case of Harriet (Stanley/Hafez) the yet unknown father could be a relative of the family of Brian Jones ....

I know. How many mothers, for whatever reason, have never registered a child they didn't (or couldn't) want? There are so many children (and adults) in this world that live with a deep pain because they have been rejected by their legitimate mother (or father for that matter).

Unfortunately none of the names on this part of your list ring a bell. The three passengers you mentioned seperately, were they among these names?
Who knows, maybe the second part of your list?
It's is still possible that the one I look for stayed behind in Cairo at that time, but don`t worry about that, I've have filed a request at a governmental institute. It's an entry from a different angle.

This is darned weird!

Anyone could equally have written.....

"In case of Harriet (Stanley/Hafez) the yet unknown father could be a relative of the family of Paul McCartney...."

or

"In case of Harriet (Stanley/Hafez) the yet unknown father could be a relative of the family of Ian Stewart...."

or

"In case of Harriet (Stanley/Hafez) the yet unknown father could be a relative of the family of BV...."

or

" In case of Harriet (Stanley/Hafez) the yet unknown father could be a relative of the family of Joe Biden..."

And of course, a fundamentalist would argue that we're all related if you go back to Adam and Eve.

Unless someone comes up with something SUBSTANTIVE that's driving this, it's pointless hunting for a needle in a haystack when you don't even have any evidence that there was ever a needle!

Hi georgie48

Added more passengers. You still can't see the picture? Wonder if anyone else can?

The other passengers on same page are:

Helena Krauss : age 27, wife of Polish soldier

Voui Hsin Djou : age 38, distressed seaman

Worth pointing out that BY FAR the most common Welsh surname is ... JONES.

ie Just because they have the same surname does not really even imply that they were related. See [www.familysearch.org]) where it cites 13.84% which is a staggering proportion of the population.

Hi CC,
As you maybe know, I lived in the UK for some time and I know some things about your great country. Also that Jones, like Smith, etc. are names that are high on the most popular surnames lists. Quite some famous Jones's in the entertainment world too. But .... so what? What worries you? If I hit the wall, it's not your pain, right? Where is your positive spirit? You're a Rolling Stones fan, so it must be around somewhere winking smiley

Hi Irix,
We are reaching a sensitive stage. I will temporarily add my email address under my alias, so we can communicate in such a way that nobody get "hurt". When 2000LYFH is online I'll do the same for him. If you don't like it, let me know.
