Louise Harrison Siblings: Meet George Harrison, Peter Harrison, and Harry Harrison
George Harrison’s sister was Louise Harrison. The two were very close in the 1960s and 1970s, but George reportedly distanced himself from her in the mid-1990s because he objected to the conversion of her old Illinois home into a ‘Beatles bed-and-breakfast’ inn called A Hard Day’s Night.
George was the youngest of four children of Harold Hargreaves (or Hargrove) Harrison (1909–1978) and Louise (née French; 1911–1970). Harold was a bus conductor who had worked as a ship’s steward on the White Star Line, and Louise was a shop assistant of Irish Catholic descent.
He had one sister, Louise (16 August 1931 – 29 January 2023), and two brothers, Harold (born 1934) and Peter (20 July 1940 – 1 June 2007).
On 2 September 1978, Harrison married Olivia Trinidad Arias, who was a marketing executive for A&M Records, and later Dark Horse Record As Dark Horse was a subsidiary of A&M, the couple had first met over the phone working on record company business, and then in person at the A&M Records offices in Los Angeles in 1974.
