Thomas Harrison wives - Alston, Cumberland
« on: Tuesday 11 April 06 17:08 BST (UK) »
I have gotten mixed information about the wives of Thomas Harrison who was born in 1730, Allendale, Alston, Cumberland and had 16 children from 1754 to 1781.  The IGI lists the children as belonging to BOTH Jane Tingate (marr 3 or 31 May 1753) and either Mrs. Frances Harrison (marr 31 May 1753) or Frances Tingate (marr 3 May 1753).  Another wife, Sarah Kirk (marr 27 Oct 1788) is also listed with no children.  I think the first wife died (probably worn out from bearing all those children) and he remarried someone to finish raising them.  It is also possible that he married both Jane Tingate and a Frances ? and some of the children belong to one and some to the other.

Any woman who has 16 children at the very least deserves credit for it and I'd like to straighten out this confusion.   Does anyone have access to those parish records to figure this out?

Looking at the submitted entry on the IGI the Frances he is supposed to have married is a Francis (male spelling) and supposed to have died June 1808, on the Alston bishops transcripts it says

1808
Francis Harrison,  Nenthead Merchant  Died June 6th  Buried June 8th age 63

which to me indicates a man!  it would say widow of or wife of if it was a woman.

The other submitted entry with Sarah Kirk as wife gives Thomas, Francis' date of death!

I would take any submitted entry on this family with a large helping of salt

If you look at the Cumberland board there is someone offering the inscriptions from Alston including some Harrison's that might help.  Grin

Thanks for you replies.  I tried looking at Alston microfilms and couldn't find anything relevant to Thomas Harrison.  I'll check out the Cumberland board.
