HARRISONS in Black Country
« on: Sunday 15 January 06 12:23 GMT (UK) »
My Harrison relations are elusive. I was once told that they may have been Romanys as there was a large amount of them around there. Cannot find anyone apart from Great Grandma and Great Granddad's marriage cert 1876 both being resident in Dawley Magna. Nothing else fits either on census and can't find anyone on bmd. Does anyone out there have any info.

My G Granddad was Benjamin Harrison and his father was Benjamin Harrison too. The son married Sarah Hill in 1876 and they had a number of children. The first Ruth was born in Dudley before going to Derbyshire where the rest including Ethel, my Grandma was born.

Hi!

I think this is the family in the 1881 Census, living at Lowgates, Staveley, in Derbyshire.

Benjamin Harrison    Lodger (Head)   25    Coal Miner
Sarah Harrison          Wife              26
Ruth Harrison            Dau               2
Thomas Harrison      Lodger            24    Coal Miner

They are all shown as being born at Old Hill, Staffs.

It seems likely that Benjamin and Thomas are brothers.....

Hope this gives you a bit more info to work with.

Best wishes.

Yes thanks Ju
Thomas registered his brothers death in 1901 in Lowgates staveley.
Benjamin died of TB at 49. not uncommon at the time.

Hi Ernestine,

I know this a an old post... if you are still searching for this family, give me a shout. I think can see them in 1871 at Rowley Regis.
