Harry Lowe Bloom (b. 24 May 1911), married Ivy Tummon (b. 19 Jul 1916), daughter of George Tummon and Fanny Elwick, in Hull in Q4 of 1935. 

In 1921, Harry Lowell Bloom (10) was living in the household of William Finn (34) at 3, Ethel's Grove, Brighton Street, Sculcoates, listed as his Step-son. William Finn, Soldier, had married Harry's mother, Agnes Daisy Bloom, Spinster, on 6 May 1916. No mother's maiden name was listed on Harry's birth record, which confirms that he was born illegitimately. Lowe could have been his father's surname. 

Harry and Ivy appear to have five children:

1. Harry Kenneth Bloom b. 3 Jul 1936 in Sculcoates (Vol 9D Page 312)
2. Dennis Bloom b. 1938 Q4 in Hull
3. Gladys Bloom b. 1939 Q4 in Hull, died in the same quarter.
4. Lillian Bloom b. 1939 Q4 in Hull, died in the same quarter.
5. Maurice Bloom b. 1940 Q4 in Hull

Gladys and Lillian, born and died in 1939, quite clearly must have been twins.

In 1939 living at 6 Columbine Terrace, Strickland Street, Kingston Upon Hull (parallel to Wassand Street, where Ivy grew up), were Harry Bloom, General Labourer; Ivy Bloom, Harry K Bloom. A closed record would relate to Dennis. 

The family clearly must have moved to Manchester at some point. 

Both Dennis and Maurice married in Manchester, in 1968 and 1972, respectively. Ivy Bloom died, aged 60, in Manchester in 1976, Harry Lowe Bloom died, in Manchester, in 1977, he will have been 66. Harry Kenneth Bloom died, also in Manchester, at 52, in 1988. Dennis and Maurice may still be still living.
