Alfred and Annie Harris's Children

[margill68]

Hi to everyone
I am looking for children born to Alfred and Annie Harris (Curtin) married St John's Church Wellington NSW in 1879
Annie Harris died in 1888/2595 at Callan Park Asylum and children listed as living on her DC are William, Annie, Frederick and Helena and one dec'd female not named
I would appreciate any help

If those children were born in NSW, then likely the registered births will be on the free to search NSW BDM indexes at the following link :

http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/Pages/family-history/family-history.aspx 

I would expect the order the names show on that death certificate will indicate William as the eldest then living, through to Helena as the youngest then living.

NSW BDM recently adjusted their search options and you can now determine the actual date of an event, not just the year. 

Fingers crossed,

JM

Thank You Jamjar for all that information

I found this death for Alfred W at Young
Death of a Well Known Showman
It has him a resident of Kingsgrove Canterbury
http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article12559998

I am still looking for daughter Annie and hope the parish records for Alfred and Annie's MC may have more information about their dad Alfred

[Jamjar]

What information do you have on Alfred Snr?

There are Alfred's buried at Moorfields: http://www2.canterbury.nsw.gov.au/history/cemetery/moorefields/fulllist.htm

1902 Alfred Harris parents Alfred and Sarah CANTERBURY

Also, there is a In Memoriam for an Alfred, in 1903, by daughter Annie, first column: http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article14581413

This possibly his father who is at Moorfields: 1907 Alfred Harris parents Alfred and Eliza CANTERBURY

All that I know about father Alfred Harris is from the 1879 MC at Wellington NSW. It does not list parents or place of birth.  Just his occupation as Brick maker and usual residence of Maryland.  I have sent for the parish records but have not heard yet.  I think I may get the birth for eldest child Eliza 1880/5414 and hope.

Thanks for the article it could very well be Alfred but I need a bit more information about him.

Hi again
I now have some information for the children's father Alfred Harris from his daughter Eliza BC 1880.  It has him 20 years old, brick maker and born Kiama NSW. A very young couple as Annie his wife is 16 years old

8399/1859 Harris Alfred
Father Alfred Mother Sarah reg'd Kiama

Information about Alfred's mother and father would be appreciated
Thank you

1945/1858 Alfred Harris to Sarah Wood KIAMA

Have a look at births from 1859 to 1877. If Clara is your Alfred' sister, then the connection is made to those at the above cemetery, as Clara is buried there with father. Grace and Mary there, also.

See BDM - Possible brother buried at Woronora:
Henry Harris
8 December 1935
Burial: Anglican Monumental - Section Ag - 0299
