Hi

My great great grandmother was Mary Ann Harris.  I am descended from her daughter Sarah, who on her marriage certificate to George Pardoe, listed her name as Sarah Harris Hughes.  My grandmother, worked for her grandmother Sarah, as a housekeeper in the 1930's.  By this stage Sarah and her husband George were extremely wealthy and my grandmother remembers their house with lots of beautiful things.  George had a building firm and they owned quite a few houses in Waterworks Road in Worcester and employed 30 men. His firm built the wall around Stanley Baldwin's estate. By the 1930's Sarah was overweight and suffering from problems with her stomach, probably stomach cancer.  Another overriding memory of my grandmother's was that Sarah was Jewish, very strict Jewish - I am not sure where her Jewishness comes from - whether it was her mother or fathers side - if anyone knows I would love to know.  My Grandmother says that Sarah was always referred to as Sarah Harris - not Hughes or Harris Hughes as per her marriage certificate.

Hi Kbards

Sarah Harris was my G Grandmother. My grandmother was one of George and Sarah's Daughters. My Grandmother lived in one of those house s in Waterworks Road until she died in the 80s

The information You have given me about Sarah and George is very intresting as I knew nothing about them until about 2 Years ago. The Harris in Sarah's name had me confused  for a while as it was not your run of the mill middle name but as I researched more I realised Harris was her maiden name

Is your Grandmother still alive I would really welcome any more information you have about the family 

[Kbards]

Yes my grandmother is still alive - a healthy 88!  She was Edith Pardoe (married Tom Allies) daughter.

Just out of interest, I have some Ashton-Under-Hill Harrises.

My gt gt gt grandmother was Hannah Harris ~ baptised Ashton 1813 ~ and her father was John ~ born c. 1790, I believe also in Ashton.
I think that her mother's name was probably Lydia.

If you think there might be a connection, do let me know!
