Colleen.
Had a breakthrough.
Found the marriage of John Harris and Grace Mathews(how spelt). 1841 sept qt Helston district Cornwall. Gro ref vol 9 page 151.


I googled Helston and a map came up. At the bottom of the map is a place called MULLION.

That has got to be your John Harris birth place

Checked 1851-1855.Some ships in 1855 not transcribed.
All ships arriving at Port Adelaide.

Thanks Margaret for your time and patience.
Will see what I can do.
Cheers Colleen.

checked 1854.
I have to go off now but will take another look.
Non on his site transcribed after 1855 Im afraid.

You could try looking on other sites

Sorry Margaret
My mind is not working today. bit sluggish..not a good day..
Elizabeth was married 1865. So they would have arrived prior to that and after 1851.
Colleen.

What have you checked. No good me going over the same stuff

Margaret
No I can't find them. All I know is that it would have been sometime between 1851when Frances was born and 1876 when she was married.
Her parents are buried here in South Australia so I presume they came out as a family.
I found Elizabeth Ann's marriage as well.
As Rose said.. they can't be found on 1861 census
Colleen

The Robert Janmaat list
I have checked the 1855 list but it isnt complete. Some ships havnt been done yet.

I will check 1854 for you

Colleen.

Have you found your Harris family on the ships list yet?

Hi Margaret
On South Australian marriages it only gives
Names of bride and Groom,age, status, Fathers' names and place of marriage
Colleen

Excuse my ignorance.
On the Australian marriages it gives parents names and where they come from.?

Does it give occupations? Could it be that Taylor is really his occupation (Tailor)

n.

Thanks Rose
Will check it out and see if I can find immigration record
Thanks once again for the help you have given me now and in the past
Cheers Colleen.

Hi Colleen,

Couldn't see them in 1861. Could be they had moved to Australia then?

Rose

Rose
If its its not imposing too much.... would you mind checking 1861 census for this family
Much appreciated
Colleen.

Thanks Rose... looks like I've been sent down the wrong path. Evan the birth date of Frances looks like its wrong but according to her marriage record she was 23 in 1876 (who knows?)
Got something to work on now.
Thanks again
Colleen.
