Cheshire Lookup Requests / Harrison birth record
« on: Saturday 28 April 12 13:18 BST (UK) »
I'm trying to find the birth reference for my great great grandfather, James Harrison. I know his father is called George (from James' marriage certificate). I think James was born about 1843 ? in Runcorn, Cheshire (from marriage and death certs and all census I've found for him from his marriage in 1865 to death in 1920).
I had thought his parents were George Harrison and Mary Taylor but I've now been given a death certificate (1843) which shows the James I had in my tree died at age 1 month! This same George and Mary had had a previous child James born 1839 died 1841/2 but obviously aren't the right family.
I've sent for a couple of certificates from 1842 and 1843 but father wasn't 'George' on any.
Just wondered if anyone recognises any of these details? Many thanks for reading this.
