Karen Cannot find them in 1871. You can view the 1881 census for free on familysearch. This will give all the info on the family. Victor

a really big thankyou for your help i really appreciate it karen:)

Karen Just to confuse you even more. Here is the family in WALES 1901. 1901 Wales Census Name Estimated Birth Year Birthplace Relationship Civil Parish County/Island View Image Save This Albert Harris abt 1883 Fullhope, Herefordshire, England Son Llanwonno Glamorgan Mary Harris abt 1845 Fullhope, Herefordshire, England Wife Llanwonno Glamorgan William Harris abt 1843 Hereford, Herefordshire, England Head Llanwonno Glamorgan Source information: RG13/5005 Registration district: Pontypridd Sub-registration district: Llanwonno ED, institution, or vessel: 35 Folio: 85 Page: 3 (click to see others on page) Household schedule number: 19 As you say your GGfather married in Glamorgan it would appear that the death you have may!!!! be the wrong one. There are now two links to the family with William still alave after 1884. Will keep looking. Victor

Karen Are you saying Albert was born in 1884 and William (his father) died in 1884, aged 68? If so that seems a bit old to be still having children! Lynne

thanks victor i see what you mean not all my info can be very reliable,its a common name unfortunately so i think my info is wrong. albert harris married a mary jane rees in glamorgan i will say i have spent a fortune looking for that needle in a haystack. really big thanks karen lyne alberts birth cert is march 1884 and william death cert is dec 1884

Karen The point I was making was that 68 is a bit old to have children. Are you sure it's the same William? Lynne

i was given the info from someone looking in a frc in hereford the mum was born in 1832 which is even worse i was beginning to think that one of the daughters could be his mother but his birth cert says william harris and mary nee apperley as mother and father . karen

Karen Cannot find any trace of the marriage either, there are a few Albert Harris's but not many Mary Jane Rees's. The nearest I can find so far is this.
