How Henry became as happy as Harry
Henry, who changed his name to Harry Dale, was born at 22 Fairclough Lane, West Derby, Liverpool on November 22, 1893. He was the youngest son of tailor Nathan Blumenthal (born around 1840 in Kempen, Posen, Prussia) and his Leicester-born wife Sarah (born Elizabeth Suffolk in 1854). The couple had 14 children, including one who died as a baby. Henry trained as a dentist, living at one point in Bournemouth with his elder brother, Moses Abraham Blumenthal - also a dentist who changed his name to Maurice Abraham Dale. During the First World War, he served in the Royal Fusiliers. He had a daughter, who was known as Pepi. Email sue.easter@btinternet.com
