Birth or Baptism Look Up Help Please
« on: Thursday 23 July 15 19:58 BST (UK) »
Hello all,
Help needed please in trying to trace a birth date or baptism for James Harris.
According to the 1901 census, by that time he was living in Yorkshire, his age is recorded as 30, born 1871 in Dowlais.
Having trouble tracking him\his family down in Dowlais and any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
