I show John & Jane's family in Burnley in the 1891 and 1901 census records.  Neil of RootsChat.com was able to find the information I was seeking on Jane's brother, John Dawe & his wife Susan and their son regards their deaths.

I'm  hoping someone would be able to find out where and when John and Jane Harris died:  probably in or around Burnley after the 1901 census.  Jane's older (by two years) brother died in 1917.  Her SIL, Susan, died in 1907. That couple is buried in the Burnley Cemetery; I understand from Neil that it is in very poor condition, quite dangerous, and poorly maintained. 

John & Jane Harris had six children I know of whose last names were Harris:  Joseph J. (b.1869), Ellen Dawe (b.1872), Thomas Henry (b.1874), Elizabeth Ann(b.1876), John Thomas(b.1879), and Rosina(b.1882).   The oldest three were born in Cornwall, Elizabeth and John were born in N. Skelton NRY, and Rosina was born in Brotton, NRY.

John was a miner, but his children worked in the cotton mills.  The parents were in St. John the Baptist ecclesiastical parish.

I would appreciate any input anyone could give me on this family.  Thanks.  RedFox   

According to my research of my family tree, at least three persons born in Cornwall, died in Llantrisant, Glamorganshire, Wales.  I didn't search further as the eldest person was born in 1814, so is a distant ancestor and sister of my direct descendent.

However, the area intrigues me.  In order to find out more about the area, I'd like to see what else I can find on these individuals.  Several sources (Ancestry.com, Family History Online, FamilySearch) have referred to them, but have found RootsChats to be especially helpful in the past.

Elizabeth DAWE (sister of my ancestor, James), b. 1814 near Linkinhorne, Cornwall.  Elizabeth married William GILL who died in the mid-1800's.  Their eldest daughter was Ann born born about 1837 in Linkinhorne area, Cornwall.  In 1856, Ann married Richard JOLLOW in Liskeard, Cornwall.  Linkinhorne is in the Liskeard registration district, so perhaps they were married at the registration offices.  Others in the family have done this.

I show a date of death of Elizabeth Dawe GILL of 21 Feb 1917 in Llantrisant.  I show the same date and place of death of Ann Gill JOLLOW.  I have a date of death for Richard JOLLOW of 15 Nov 1900 in Llantrisant.

I would appreciate any input on the area of Llantrisant, as well as any one who might be familiar with those names and times.  Thanks in advance for any input.   RedFox

I'm still searching for information on my ancestor, John Robson.  His death certificate says he was 85 at the time of death in 1884.  All the census records show his birth as Scotland; in 1841 only "S", then more specific over the years.  Until I've seen Newcastleton, Roxburghshire on one. 

John's marriage certificate shows his father's name was Andrew.  I'm hoping a parish register will show his birth or baptism date as well as his mother's name. 

Ironically, his last residence was Newtown, Aspatria, Cumberland.  Supposedly, his father was from Cumberland, but I don't know where.

Would apppreciate any help with finding information on John.  Thank  you,   RedFox.

Hi, I have the OPR of two children - William and Robert.  A third, James, appears on the IGI.  I have the OPR of the marriage of the parents, Robert Lyle and Jean/Janet Taylor in 1754.

I'd like to know if there were other children and try and trace them.  Some of the family emigrated, probably before 1800 to America.  It's possible the parents (Robert and Janet) and grandparents (Robert Lyle and Margaret Masson) stayed in Scotland. The grandparents were married in 1717. 

There are other issues which I'll request separately.  Thank you,  RedFox
