I look for the children/grandchildren of Harry Rountree

Question

Hello,

I am a publisher, and I look for children/grandchildren or any other relative who is the Copyright owner for Harry Rountrees (died 1950) artwork. Please, help.

With the best regards,

George Piliev, Moscow, Russia.

Hi George,

Harry was born in New Zealand and went to England in 1901.  He had 6 siblings all born in New Zealand.  It is highly probable that there will be descendants from them in New Zealand.

I found a marriage record for a "Harry Rountree' in Fulham, London in 1905 which could be him.

 Incredibly there is little documented about him online. I will keep looking.

Hello again George,

I found this:

The Illustration World of Harry Rountree
Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Felstead: Daughter and generous son-in-law of Harry Rountree.

Winifred W. Felstead married Lynda S. Rountree in early 1954 in Kensington, London.

Mr. William Stout is writing a biography of Harry Rountree which may well be published by now.  He should have some information.
