Hello to all, I have just joined this group. I am interested in finding information on my great-grandfather WILLIAM HARRISON who was born in Bradford on Avon in about 1856. I believe his parents were William & Ann Harrison. He married Ellen Sophia HARRISON - she was born in South Wraxhall in about 1862. (They may have been related with the same surname...) They married in 1881@ Bradford on Avon (v. 5a p. 242 Oct- Nov-Dec). William was a Royal Marine (Artillery) on the HMS Warrior. At some stage they emmigrated to Queensland, Australia but I am having difficulty finding any information about this. They had 6 children; the first Bertha was born in 1882 at Portsea Island, Hampshire. Then Edward 1886; Albert Francis 1888; Ada Eleanor in 1890 and the last two Ellen and Elsie (my grandmother) was born in Brisbane in 1894 & 1896. I am having trouble finding records of the births of children 2, 3 & 4 who are listed as alive on my Grandmother Elsie's birth certificate. William & Ellen died in Brisbane, Ellen was 90 when she died. William was a "Warder" - I am guessing in the QLD prison system. I have searched ancestry.com and found much information mostly thru the census records (1881; 1871 & 1861). Also some information thru the National Archives website and various random sites about HMS Warrior. If anyone out there is related to or has information on the Harrisons' on this area of Wiltshire, I would appreciate hearing from you !! regards, Jan Heiler Sydney, Australia
