She was actually called Mary Jane Harsley, and possible Jane or Jainy got
altered to Ginny. Click here to see a
family tree of the Harsleys.
Ginny married Fred Harvison, a railway worker (for the North Eastern
Railway) who lived in Hull, he had been born in Lincolnshire in 1872.
About the time of WW1 they lived in Hull but at some later point, they moved to Withernwick where
they lived at no 3 Church Lane, previously the home of Jane Harsley (her
mother).
Fred died in 1945 aged 72 and Ginny died in 1956 aged 79; they are buried
in St Alban's churchyard.
Billy married Olive and they had two children Valerie and Moira who, as
the photos below show were frequent visitors to the village.

This photo seems to be taken on the same day as the right hand one above,
In the background is Ginny Harvison.
