Hi Jenny I had trouble myself in trying to find out what happened to James after he left the Gosford area, as you'd have realised from my book. Before I do a re-write, I'd like to get back to you and hopefully have your permission to correct my material with acknowledgement to you. I'm descended from a Coulson family from the north of England (an Isabella who was born in 1786). Do you know some more about Charlotte's family? Regards Liz P Jenny McCarthy wrote: >From book written by Liz Parkinson - pages 132 and 133 >James Harrison ......

I am seeking contact with anyone researching a James Harrison born in Manchester in 1814. He married Charlotte Coulson, youngest daughter of the late Quartermaster Coulson of the 3rd Regiment and lived at Wyong and Gosford and they had 8 children, two of whom died young and are buried at Point Frederick Cemetery. It is through the pages of the Rev. Alfred Glennie's Journal that we begin to find out what kind of people the Harrison family were. There are many references to picnics, excusions and sailing parties, and through the pages of the journals we know such things as the fact that Maud took music lessons from Rev. Glennie, and that at 'Mona Vale' there was a piano, a black servant and a maid. It seems that James Harrison lived as a retired gentleman. As well as being one of the local Justices of the Peace, James Harrison had, along with Henry Donnison, been elected as a Councillor of the Brisbane Water District Council in 1846 for a term of three years. however, he did not serve his full term; by 1848 he had been replaced. This may have been because of a temporary absence from the area. Harrison;s name appears in the Bench Records from 1849 to 1861, and he had been appointed Coroner in 1858. In 1861, along with Hely, Hargraves and Lyall Scott, he lost his commission. Hely and Scott resumed their bench duties the following year, but Harrison never appeared again. The last sat on the Bench at Gosford on 6 November 1862 James Harrison involved himself very much in the affairs of the Church. He was a Church Warden and in November 1858 he was chosen unanimously as Lay Representative for the District Parish at the December Conference held at Morpeth, which he attended with Rev. Glennie. Harrison was very active in the local boat racing held on the Broadwater.at Gosfored The Rev. Glennie had been gone from Gosford for nearly six years when, on 30 January 1869, he recorded that he received a letter that evening from Mr. Harrison announcing the death of Mrs. Harrison, at Booral, without any further comment. There are mentions in Rev Glennies Journal of Alice, Martha and Maria Harrison From book written by Liz Parkinson - pages 132 and 133 James Harrison Harrison was a gentleman settler. He was a Justice of the Peace and became a very active member of the Church of England in the Brisbane Water and is often mentioned by Reverend Alfred Glennie in his journals [5]. He was also a local magistrate between 1849 and 1861 and was the coroner from 1852 to 1871 The only other reference that can be found is a James Harrison was a Teacher at Stroud in 1872 There is a death of James Harrison at East Maitland on 21 November 1886 but there is no mention of his parents, or wife or children on ether the Death Certificate or the Inquest report in the Maitland Mercury but I think this is the right James. A Son James Brisbane Henry Harrison died in 1901 in Queensland but I cannot trace any of this other children. Can anyone assist me. Jenny McCarthy Brightwaters N.S.W. on beautiful Lake Macquarie

Hello Alison, Re your posting concerning members of the Briggs family. There was a C H BRIGGS living at 51 Lake Avenue, Killarney Vale in Wyong Shire listed in the 1971 Gosford telephone directory. Also an I H Briggs living at Trelawney St, Killarney Vale. Try the Probate Index for C H Briggs, seeing he was born in 1894. And have you checked the current NSW Electoral Roll for younger members of this family? Not much help, but a little something. Best wishes, Gwen
