I'm back again with my HARRIS enquiries to ask for your help once again. You may remember a few weeks ago I was trying to ascertain whether a William Henry HARRIS born Bristol c1822 was the son of Henry HARRIS a Coppersmith - Henry's name and occupation taken from William's marriage cert. Members on this list were kind enough to confirm for me that a Henry HARRIS married an Elizabeth SANDOVER in May 1823 at Temple, Bristol. Also that a Henry HARRIS, musician, and Elizabeth HARRIS baptised a son William Henry on 22 May 1825 at Temple Bristol, his birth date given as 3 Sep 1824. Same couple had a son, Charles, baptised April 1829 in St Thomas. My gt gt grandfather, was a William Henry HARRIS born Bristol c1822 according to various census records and his 1888 death cert gives age as 67, i.e. birth date circa 1821 - informant was his daughter. In 1851, 61, 71 and 1888 William Henry lived in St Margaret Westminster. Now there is a Henry HARRIS, Coppersmith/Brazier/Tinman, living in St Margaret Westminster in 1851 (widower and 5 children with him) and 1861 (married - but no wife enumerated with him, nor any of his children). He's at the same address in both census records. The 5 children with him in 1851 were born 1833, 1838, 1839, 1841 and 1845. I obtained the birth cert for Edwin Alfred HARRIS, the son born 1841 and the mother is given as Mary Ann HARRIS formerly RADFORD, not Elizabeth SANDOVER as I was hoping to find. Now I don't know whether to buy the birth cert for the daughter born 1833 and see if Mary Ann RADFORD is also her mother, my thinking being that perhaps Henry's first wife (Elizabeth) died and he remarried and started a new family with Mary. There's no HARRIS/RADFORD marriage on the IGI or FreeBMD, but if Henry had married Mary Ann prior to the 1833 daughter being born, then the marriage was before registration anyway. Perhaps I just want this all to fit so that the Henry HARRIS living in St Margaret Westminster is "mine"!! Perhaps it's simply a coincidence that his name is Henry, and he's a coppersmith and he lives in the same parish as my William Henry HARRIS. I have looked for Henry and the children in 1841 but cannot find them - at least not on Ancestry. Perhaps they have been mistranscribed. I've also tried wildcards but to no avail. If someone has access to a different transcript of the 1841 census, perhaps he may show up on there. I don't know where to go from here and would really appreciate some advice please.
