Find Ancestors

Hi all,

I am looking for if possible, parents, siblings and a marriage of John Harris b1846 and Susannah ??? b1847, both born in Woollaston, Gloustershire.

The 1881 Census, they were all born in Woollaston

John 34 H Fisherman
Susannah 33 W Dressmaker
Edith Alice 10 D Scholar
Amy Louise 4 D

Reg District: Chepstow, Sub District: Lydney, C.P.: Woollaston, Glous,

Address: Common, Woollaston, County: Monmouthshire
Gertrude Ellen 1 D

I have the 1891 and 1901 Census of the above family.

On the 1911 Census, Lily Susannah is listed as a cousin to the Wilson family. I am trying to find out if John Harris and Emily Wilson nee Harris are siblings.

Thanks

Whats Susannah's maiden name

Julie,

I don't know, sorry.

Have you looked on the freeBMD site for their marriage......No-one can find her parents without her surname

Yes, I have looked for a marriage, but cannot find one that fits the area.

Then maybe you'll be best to get one of the childrens B/C for her maiden name

I wonder why they are noted as Tamplin in the 1871

Flip & Astra,

This is the 1911 Census,

Wilson Lillian Emily, Head
Wilson Florence Ellen Sister
Wilson John Henry Sister
Wilson Dorothy Mary Sister
Wilson Jessie Isabel Sister
HARRIS LILY SUSANNAH COUSIN 1883
HARRIS WALTER HENRY COUSIN 1889

Sorry Mel. You have lost me with that?

Astra,

So this is the 1881 Census, Address, Netherend, Woollaston

Harris, Walter Barrow Head 1813 Sail Maker
Harris, Ann wife 1820
Harris, Alfred son 1860 Paper Maker
Harris, Sidney son 1862 Paper Maker
Harris, Mary daughter 1868 Scholar

Astra,

The 1891 Census, address Common, Woollaston

Harris, John head 45 1846 Fisherman
Harris, Susannah wife 47 1847 Dressmaker
Harris, Gertrude daughter 11 1880
Harris, Charles Son 8 1883
HARRIS, LILY daughter 8 1883<<<<<<<<

The 1911 Census, is the Wilson family that I had originally researched for a friend, she asked me to find out any details on the cousins, Lily & Walter Harris.

The mother of the Wilson children was originally a Harris.

OK Mel. Got it now I have just read the rest of the OP's message where he mentions them.

I think that I might leave this for a while, have just checked with my friend, this is the 1861 Census that she has, so I think that the Tamplin might be a different family

Harris, William 58 head
Harris, Mary 46
Harris, Emily 7
Harris, Walter 5
Harris, Edmund 2
Harris, George 24

It's very odd. The only Walter Barrow Harris that I can find in 1841 is married to Eliza and is a butcher. But there were two of them. They were both born and died within a year of each other .
