Including George, how many children did Harold and Louise Harrison have?

The story behind the answer

Including George, Harold and Louise Harrison had four children.

George was the youngest child of Harold Hargreaves Harrison and Louise Harrison, née French. His siblings were Louise, Harold and Peter, making four children in total. The family lived at 12 Arnold Grove in Wavertree, Liverpool, where George was born in 1943.

The wording “including George” matters: George had three siblings, so the total number of children was four. This is sometimes confused with the number of children George himself later had. George and his wife Olivia had one son, Dhani Harrison, born in 1978.

His parents played important roles in his early life. Harold worked as a bus conductor and had previously been a ship’s steward, while Louise was a shop assistant and a keen music lover. Louise encouraged George’s musical interests, and the family’s Liverpool home became associated with the young guitarist’s early development before the Beatles made him internationally famous.
