Hi cousin Rachel
Visited your great site, much impressed. Couldn't find anything of importance to disagree with although I would dearly like to know how someone linked my elusive Joseph Harris circa 1806/7 with Samuel and Amelia Harris, have I missed something? I would be over the moon to have a link of some sort to Joseph's parents, if as you say Samuel served in the Napoleonic war and Amelia plus three sons followed Samuel it's possible children, including Joseph, were born in places where Samuel was stationed even overseas.
Incidentally I have in my 'Spares Database' one child of Samuel and Amelia Harris, a son Samuel born 27 May 1805 and baptised 6 Apr 1808 at Coggeshall, I probably recorded Samuel as a reminder to myself that there were other Harris families in Coggeshall.
From my research, comments:-
Children of Joseph Harris and Lucy Turner1) I think you're right with your thoughts on William Harris, son of Joseph Harris and Lucy Turner, marrying Ann Nichols they married 20 May 1858
2) Eliza Harris married Arthur Mayhew Dec quarter 1863 Witham Reg District.
3) Lucy Turner Harris married Albert Bright Dec quarter 1867 Witham Reg District.
Since in those days Coggeshall was in the Witham Registry District I would imagine that both Eliza and Lucy would have been married in St Peter ad Vincular Coggeshall, the various Coggeshall ancestors and their siblings whose certificates I have purchased where the Registry District is Witham the events took place at Coggeshall.
There is a problem I found with the marriage of Sarah Ann Harris (daughter of Joseph Harris and Lucy Turner) to George Rowland which I also show. In the 1881 census for George and Sarah Ann Rowland there is Ann Harris who in the relationship to the Head (George) is stated as mother in law. I’m wondering if there was another Sarah Ann Harris in Coggeshall or was it just an enumerator or transcriber error.
Regarding John Turner HarrisHave any of your group found the birth or baptism of John Turner Harris c1838?
So far the only mention I have been able to find of John Turner Harris is in the 1881 Census for Coggeshall and (I think) in his marriage entry to Emma Harris.
I note you show John Turner Harris as son of Joseph and Emma Turner, I wonder if there was a mix up and he should have been named John Harris Turner. I can't find any notes in my records regarding his 1871 Coggeshall marriage to Emma Gepp/Gepp, therefore I'm wondering where I got it from and whether the marriage entry recorded him as John Turner Harris or John Harris Turner. It could be a case of Having got the marriage from someone else and not having checked it out myself.
There is no son named John with Joseph and Lucy Harris in the 1841 Census where he would have been only about two or three years old, nor is he with Joseph and Lucy in the 1861 and 1871 Censuses. In the 1891 Census Emma Harris his wife is as expected stated as being a widow.
Btw I have a 5th cousin in Ontario Canada, related to my Coggeshall Dalton line.
Regards.
PS what is FB, I don't think I've come across that site.
