Hi. Can't help you with Jonathan but this info will either help or hinder you. Re- my previous post: My earliest Harrison in the Thurnham area is Elizabeth d. 1597, buried at St, Michael's. Thomas, George and Janet are mentioned as workers in the Abbey Surveys of 1536 and 1538. William d. 1681 and James d. 1698 were both buried at St. Michael's, so the family name in this area goes back a very long time. By the way, in 1134, a church was built in Cockerham dedicated to St Michael. It was rebuilt in 1814 and again in 1910. It appears to be in a remote site away from the village but was central to it at one time as the village was supposed to have been rebuilt during the plague away from the infected area.
