Harry Ratcliffe British Vita Racing

[rhysenna]

Not sure if this is the right place to post this.

I'm currently helping my mother with our family tree and need help in finding out who Harry's father was?
We think there where 2 brothers, one named Willi don't know the other, who could have been his Dad.

Its a long shot but any help would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Is this the Hatty Ratcliffe that used to have a rolling road nr Burnley?

Possibly. Not sure what happened to him after 1971 when he retired from racing. He used to be based in Littleborough where his garage had a rolling road but that was in the 60's.

You can look here.

Apparently Harry retired from his partnership with Jeff in 1985 and GRV closed in 2001. Don't know weather or not the company still exists.

If you could find some pictures and maybe put them on here that would be great Paul. Trying to find out as much as I can about Harry.

It appears that it is "Ratcliffe"
