Harris family
« on: Thursday 11 May 06 20:01 BST (UK) »
Could someone help me find my grandmother's family? 

Her name was Florence Edith Harris, born app 1904.  Her brothers' names were Robert, William and George, her sisters were Jessie, Coralie, Edna and Joyce.  Greatgrandma's name is unknown to me but Greatgrandpa's name was, according to Grandma's marriage certificate, John William Harris.  That certificate is the only record I have been able to find on the family (marriage took place in Dover in 1926).

Only found this so far and can't find her in 1901

Coralie Henrietta M Harris
Birth registered qrt ending March 1897
Lambeth 
Volume: 1d 
Page: 521

There is a birth registration for  Edith Florence Harris in 1904 in Hackney - could that be her - cert will give mother's name

Any more clues?

What was the occupation of her father? You might be able to find the family on 1901 with that info.  What about witnesses' names?

The only thing I have is Florence's marriage certificate.  She married Jack Thomas Pearce (my granddad) on 27 Dec 1926.  Her age is listed as 22, her father as John William Harris whose occupation is shown as stonehouseman.  One witness was the groom's brother, George Percy Pearce.   The other witness's name is hard to read, but it looks like Ethel Eileen Liddow.  The marriage took place in Dover.
