Hello,

I am trying to locate the birth of Benjamin Harrison born 1821c Stafford - I found him on the 1881 census in Chorton on Medlock - but cannot see the marriage to his wife who I believe is Sarah Ann Harrison late Stewart formerly Lockwood?

If anyone could shed some light that would be great - they both had children that I have found:-

Joseph Harrison
Sarah Harrison
James Harrison

Kind Regards

Julie
