Are you related to these people?

Brummiejan, you must be getting sick of me by now but thank you for all you have posted. I will investigate further based on this but but I currently don't understand how I never saw the mother Hannah! I am getting some new glasses next week!

My target is :-
Births Mar 1881
HARRISON William Henry Richmond, Y.
9d 671

In the 1901, where he is married with the children I know about, he says he was born in Scorton (which FreeBMD says comes within Richmond District)
I have found a Harrison family in Scorton in 1881 by interrogating the G.R. single line census :-
1881 Census
Harrison Jane 1860 Scorton Richmond, Richmond
Harrison Robt 1878 Scorton Richmond, Catterick
Harrison Jane A 1880 Scorton Richmond, Catterick
Harrison Wlm H 1881 Scorton Richmond, Catterick
Harrison William 1826 Scorton Richmond, Catterick

Please can anybody tell if they are all the sme family and I am also having trouble finding a marriage for the parents - again!

Many thanks,
Frances
