He does not appear on the 1871 census. On his marriage certificate to Marion Shields it details his father as Colin Harrower b1852 and mother as Isabella Beveridge b 1846. However, I can find no details on Isabella Beveridge or marriage certificate for Colin and Isabella. John has siblings Elizabeth b 1868, Helen b1874, Janet b 1880 and Isabella 1876. Elizabeth is not on the 1871 census either and this would mean that Colin was only 16 when she was born. The plot thickens in that there is a family called Cant on the 1871 census who has listed Isabella Cant, John Cant and Elizabeth Cant all with the same dates of birth. Can anyone find out if John Harrower was originally a CANT and also Whether Isabella Beveridge married John Cant first and then Colin Harrower.? Thank you in advance for anyone who reads and replies to this message. Wendy Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
