Title: John Harris baptism
Post by: springer5 on Thursday 18 June 20 22:51 BST (UK)
Good Evening,

I'm looking for a baptism for John Harris, born 1806 to 1812 in Wiltshire, on all the censuses I have found him on, he says Wiltshire as place of birth, but on two separate census he says  Cricklade and Leigh, I know they are close together, but cannot find a baptism, also on the censuses his birth ranges from 1809 to 1811, his father was Robert Harris, no idea who his mother was.
Thankyou for any assistance

I note that Robert married Jane Hayward 26/02/1810 Dilton, so given the distance from Leigh this may not be him?

Hi Colin, thanks for the reply
it isn't him, as I found a death for John naming Robert as his father,  and my John was still alive when that John died.

Can you tell us where you've found him on census, who he was married to, etc. etc.

All I can see is a John Harris bc.1809 Leigh with wife Emma and 2 children in 1851 Gloucester but can't find a marriage nor find them on any other census.
