I Wonder if any lister can offer any suggestion as to what I should do next to find out more about my elusive ancestors George Harris and Sarah Andrew and their parents. I have been researching these folk for several years, but have not made any further progress over the last two years. So I am not sure what it is best to do next. So I need some advice from you folks. All practical suggestions are most welcome. However, as I am living in Canada, personal visits to records centres, etc. in England are not feasible at this time. Most of my reseach to date has been at the local LDS Family History Centre. The following is what I am trying to find and what I know already. What I am trying to find: - Who were Thomas and Martha HARRIS, the parents of George HARRIS (see first item under "known facts"), and where were they in 1841 and 1851? - Who were William and Ann ANDREW or ANDREWS, the parents of Sarah ANDREW, and where were they in 1841 and 1851? Known facts: - 25 February 1819 -Thomas HARRIS and Martha MASON married at West Wycombe, Buckinghamshire. (Source parish records). I do not know if these are the parents of George HARRIS. There were two Martha MASON's who were cousins. One baptized 30 September 1798 at Hughenden, Buckinghamshire, the daughter of Thomas MASON and Mary HAWKINS. The other baptized 20 April 1800 at Hughenden, Buckinghamshire, the daughter of George MASON and Mary PAYNE. - 29 March 1822 - George Harris born at Great Kingshill, Buckinghamshire.
