Coggeshall Prs, 2 marriage lookups, HARRIS, 1866 & 1871 (still needed)
« on: Monday 24 March 08 02:05 GMT (UK) »

Would someone  be so kind as to look up the marriage of John J (or T?) Harris in the Jan Feb Mar quarter 1866 in the Coggeshall PRs.

Someone told me that John Turner Harris married Emma Harris in 1866 at Coggeshall, John is a sibling of my ancestor Joseph Harris.  A search of Free BMD came up with John J Harris marrying in the Witham Reg District, March quarter 1866 vol 4a, page 351.  Clicking on page 351 I found Ann E Harris, Anne E Harris & John J Harris.  So could someone please check for that marriage in Coggeshall PRs, January, February and March 1866.

Addition 24/3/08, due to info received from down-under.  Can I now also please have another marriage checked in Coggeshall PRs, John Harris & Emma Jepp, October, November or December 1871

I would be grateful if someone would look up these marriages for me, then having all the details I can make the decision whether or not to send for the certificate.

My ultimate aim is to check if John T Harris really belongs to the family of Joseph & Lucy Harris, Lucy's maiden name was Turner, John T Harris is not shown with the family in the 1851 Coggeshall census when he would have been about 13.  He is in the 1881 Coggeshall census, aged 43, with his wife Emma and six children.  Some years ago on a trip to the UK I looked for his baptism in the Coggeshall PRs but failed to find him.

Regards

Hi down-under,

Thanks for the information, boy now you've done it, you've opened up a can of worms with that info  Grin.

John Harris married Emma Jepp dec 1871 Witham Essex 4a 621

Yes that family looks interesting especially as I know from other Coggeshall BMD certs that Coggeshall was in the Witham Registry district.  It does raise a question though, if the above marriage is that of John Turner Harris to Emma Jepp it would appear there is a discrepancy/story regarding his daughter Emma's birth.  The 1881 census gives her age as 14, therefore born about 1867 which is 4 years prior to John Harris marrying Emma Jepp.  So what shenanigans were going on there or did two John Harrises each marry an Emma.

So now can I ask some kind person to please check out both marriages in Coggeshall PRs:
John J? Harris & Ann(e) Harris, January, February or March 1866.
John Harris & Emma Jepp, October, November or December 1871.

Regards
