-----Original Message----- From: Margaret Szalay [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, 8 January 2002 8:03 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: [AUS-IRISH] Surnames HARRISON and WOOD Am seeking information on the arrival of Henry Francis H HARRISON (Born Co. Kildare 1818, died?? 1863-5) and his wife, Marrion Grace WOOD (born 1826? in Co. Louth) – they married in Dublin in approx. 1847. They appear to have come to Australia after 1849 with a child Henrietta Georgeina, born 1849 in Dundalk Co. Louth, who married William Joseph Garnet BURGESS in 1865 in Sydney. Later surviving children born in NSW were – Francis J, born 1855, died 1930 (9 children?); Robert J, born 1857, died 1909 (7 children?); Thomas, born 1859, died 1891?; Marrion G E born 1861, died 1944 – married Benjamin JONES in 1881 (12 children); Rebecca M J born 1861 (twin) (marriage to Charles SHERINGHAM not confirmed), and Ann Alexandra (Annie) born 1863, died 1938, married Francis William HEATON, postmaster at Balgowlah in 1882 (5 children). I can find no information on the individual’s or family’s arrival in Australia in the 1850s, nor any evidence of Henry’s death after 1863 (after Ann’s birth/conception). Marrion remarried as a widow in 1866. Any information or advice on where to look for this information will be greatly appreciated. Any descendants? – I would love to hear from you.
