Clarice Joan and Ermyntrude Gwyneth Harris twin daughters born to Richard and Harriet Harris of Marazion, Penzance (First Quarter 1908 Penzance - Vol 5c - Page 197).
Did they marry and have children?
Did they emigrate and if so where?
When and where did they die?
Any information would be much appreciated - thankyou.

Can I ask that you ask about this family on one thread to stop volunteers duplicating research. I know its a different forename but same family. Do you need information about the rest of the siblings apart for Cicely which we have already done

Brenda

Brenda Report 4 Sep 2010 20:39

Oops - I am SO sorry - please accept my apologies everyone - I did have second thoughts prior to posting and have been sat here biting my nails ever since.

Yes please any information on the remainder of the siblings would be wonderful although I have found on FreeBMD that Redvers Buller Harris died aged 16 in 1918.

Michael: I couldn't agree more! At first thought Ermyntrude was bad enough but Clarice Harris is something else!

Once again many thanks to everyone for your help - and - once again - please accept my apologies - I won't do it again - I feel really bad about it.

Oh that's so interesting - I remember my Great Uncle Herbert very well. I believe I am correct in saying that one of the boats he returned on was the Irene.
