Looking for marriage of Robert Harrison, born St. Helens 1787. According to registration of son William, born 1812, Robert's wife was Jane. But Jane who? I have been unable to find the marriage.
Help, anyone?

That marriage doesn't work if Robert's birth year of 1787 is correct.

Thank you Rosie99 and emeltom. Not for the first time, I seem to have taken the wrong path as it seems that William's father was called Thomas! Another headache on the way!

Why not tell us what you have on William, maybe we can help.
