Hi Vanessa, This may be your Harris family arriving in Victoria 1853... http://proarchives.imagineering.com.au/index_search.asp?searchid=24 Family Name Given Name Age Month Year Ship Book Page HARRIS CHRISTINA 14 MAR 1853 BRITISH EMPIRE 10 68 HARRIS ELIZABETH 43 MAR 1853 BRITISH EMPIRE 10 66 HARRIS ELIZABETH 20 MAR 1853 BRITISH EMPIRE 10 68 HARRIS HANNAH 18 MAR 1853 BRITISH EMPIRE 10 68 HARRIS HENRY 17 MAR 1853 BRITISH EMPIRE 10 67 You can order a copy of the ship's list which will have more information, such as whether Elizabeth's husband was already deceased and where they were born & married. Elizabeth Harris nee Tetham death rego. states she was born in Isle. Isle of Man? Isle of Wight? or could just be the British Isles. Bit vague! :p Children's marriage dates... 1. Robert & HIBBERT - 1858 rego.295 2. Elizabeth jnr & WILLIAMS - 1853 rego.1432 3. Hannah & TEAGUE - 1859 rego.2557 4. Henry & COCKLE - 1861 rego.1369 5. Christina & FLETCHER - 1858 rego.296 Hmmm looks like Robert & Christina had a double wedding. :) Do you need any BDM's for descendants? Henry Richard HARRIS d.1882 rego.11779 Fitzroy - age 48 - c.1834 This is interesting... on Elizabeth Ally's death rego. (1914) her mother is listed as Elizabeth 'Redhead' Tatham. :) Elizabeth Ally was 83, so birth year c.1831 and on Robert Joseph's death in 1887 (rego.7947 - c.1828) his mother's name is given as 'REDHEAD'. Tatham is not mentioned. Hannah died 1890 rego.9314 - age 57 c.1833 Christina Victoria d.1923 rego.14672 - age 86 c.1837 Possible birth... Surname Given Name District Volume Page Births Mar 1838 HARRIS Christiana Victoria Sheffield 22 460 The district Sheffield spans the boundaries of the counties of South Yorkshire and West Riding of Yorkshire This is interesting too.. where does the name 'Derrippe, Drippe, Derippe' come from? As Elizabeth Ally & Hannah Prudence used this name as a middle name for their girls, I would assume it came from their side of the family. Kind regards, Sherrie.
