New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Sinnamon / Thompson from Northern Ireland

Hello Tikva,

Good to hear from you again.
I have Noel's birth and death (about 2002 ?) in Camberley, Surrey, England
and also James's birth and death dates.
Do you know if James ever married and had any children ?

Dace Sinnamon gave me Bill Sergeant's address and he sent me a copy of Noel's
autobiography. Very interesting.

Regards, Leslie

The father of my Laura Harris was William Henry Harris who was born in Plymouth in 1833.
His father may have been John Harris.
William Henry was posted to Skibereen, County Cork and married Mary Rile, the daughter of another coastguard, and then was transferred to County Galway. He died there in 1888.
I do not think that he would have served near the Mountains of Mourne, which are in County Down.

Hello bodger,

Yes, I have replied to Turtle Bunbury regarding the posting.

It is amazing that such a headstone has been retrieved by the sea after so long.

Hello bodger,

William Henry Harris and his wife Mary (nee.Real/Rile) were my gt gt grandparents.
As they married about 1855 I think that the headstone would have read 1860.
The names of the two children, Rebecca was probably called after William's mother
whilst Mary may have been called after her mother. Mary had a sister called Louisa
which fits in with the names on the headstone.

William and Mary went on to have five more children.

William was a coastguard stationed at Costello Bay, close to Inverin.

Hello Mick,
That is very interesting.  William's wife was Mary Real and his mother was Rebecca Twiddy.
I have no information on the two children, Rebecca and Mary.

Thank you for passing this on.

Regards,
Leslie

The photos do not have any writing on the back, such as photographer or town.

They were possibly taken in South West England.

Any help appreciated.
