There is a lovely photo of Meng's Restaurant here:-

I can't see any likely sign of Harold Dalrymple dying in the 1930's.

All I know is that Harold was a sweet maker / choco latier and worked at a restaurant in Sunderland called Mengs.

There's no birth of a Harold Dalrymple on SP at any time from 1854 onwards.

Nor any death.

These are the only births, unless you think possibly he was born in Scotland?

Births Mar 1894 (>99%)
Dalrymple Harold Medway 2a 596

Births Mar 1898 (>99%)
DALRYMPLE Harold Warrington 8c 251

Births Jun 1902 (>99%)
DALRYMPLE Harold Robert Alton 2c 184

Births Mar 1911 (>99%)
Dalrymple Harold A S. Stoneham 2c 91

Births Jun 1916 (>99%)
Dalrymple Harold F Thomas Medway 2a 1500

Shelagh, do you have any other info?

There is no death listed other than the one mentioned. You can see for yourself at https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

Thank you for the replies but the Harold I am researching died before 1935.He was engaged to my mother and died of a ruptured appendix. She was born in 1909 and i presume he had a similar birth date.

Or here's the birth of a Harold in roughly the right area:

Births Mar 1932 (>99%)
Dalrymple Harold mms Hannon Stockton 10a 150

This Harold had siblings Leonard, and Francis A., both now deceased.

Would this marriage be relevant at all, Shelagh ?

What age would he have been? There is only one death in that name between 1925-1945 showing on freebmd

Deaths Jun 1945 (>99%)
Dalrymple Harold 51 Westminster 1a 323

Possibly that ties in with
Births Mar 1894 (>99%)
Dalrymple Harold Medway 2a 596

I don't see any record of any such death.

When was he born, please?

This is the only death of a Harold Dalrymple in England / Wales 1925-45:
