HARRIS of Swimbridge/South Molton
« on: Friday 26 June 09 07:09 UTC (UK) »
I'm looking for information on the siblings Ann b. 1842, Thomas b. 1846, Selena/Selina b. 1850 and Charles b. 1862, father was William Harris.  Their eldest sister Elizabeth emigrated to Australia in  1850s, and there was another brother William.

Thanks for that.  This is the right family.  I am trying to find out what happened to the girls & Thomas after this time, difficult to find them on the England census.

I think these might help

1881 Gidley Arms Inn Meshaw
William H widower 57   NK     
William s s 21               Meshaw
Charles s s 19              Meshaw

RG/11/2240

1881 Selina is a servant at Beaufort House Exeter (RG11/2145)

1891  Anchor Inn 66 South Street South Molton
Charles H m 29  innkeeper  Meshaw
Elizabeth w m 28                 Christ Church Hants
Maud d s 2                           S Molton
Charles W s s 2wks              S Molton
William father widower         Cruwys Morchard

RG 12/1771

1891 South Ash Kings Nympton
William H m 32    farmer  Meshaw
Elizabeth Ann w m 33      Chumleigh
Ann d s 3                         Kings Nympton
William John s s 11m       Kings Nympton

RG 12/1772

It looks like the following might be yours too

Thomas Harris death 1857 South Molton
Ann Harris marriage to George Thorn Mar 1861 S Molton 5b 753
Jane Harris marriage to Robert Cann Dec 1874 S Molton 5b 829
William Harris married to Elizabeth Ann Nott Dec 1886 South Molton 5b 809
Charles Harris married Elizabeth Rhoda Heywood Sep 1889 South Molton 5b 761

There are a couple of marriages for Selina but nothing definite in the 1891 census, which would confirm it.

Thanks for that.  I think you are right with the marriages, I had found some of them, but you may have filled in some of the gaps.  I'll let you know how I go. 

Any info. on these families after 1900 would be appreciated.

Don't think its the right family.  My William Harris was married to an Ann Adams in Swimbridge, Devon 1839.

I have a Charles Harris in my family tree (my great grandfather on my mother's side of the family).   He was married to Elizabeth Rhoda Heywood  and they lived in South Molton - if he is connected to your tree I would be pleased to share information with you.

I have 2 Charles Harris in my family.  The older one married an Elizabeth Carter in 1888 in South Molton.  He was born about 1862 in Meshaw, Devon.  His son Charles W was born in 1891 in South Molton. 

Are either of these your Charles Harris?  I have very little info. on either.

Sorry but I don't think we have a link.   No Charles William in my tree - my Charles was a Charles John.    Obviously lots of Harris' around the South Molton area!    Good luck with your research.
