Thomas HARRIS (1823)

Hi Paul,

Happy New Year 

Please see my reply 1 above

Charlotte ROWE was baptised 30 Nov 1832 parents William and Ann father (sexton)? of Churchtown

It is Sexton as sister Johanna's entry is nice and clear 10 Aug 1828 father Parish Sexton of Churchtown in this parish

The St Col Major entries from the IGI (Children of Philip and Ann) are only submitted entries. - The Submitter was probably interested in another of Philip and Ann's Children and did not include Thomas as he does not appear with the family in 1841 so they were unaware of him. There may well be other children who do not appear with the family in 1841.

I gave you Thomas. Please note there is nothing in the records to suggest he was born in 1823, only the baptismal date. I will need to check the fiche for the other St Col baptisms.

James was  baptised and buried in Kenwyn - James 12 Mar 1809 - 20 Oct 1809 Kenwyn and also Mary Ann 23 Feb 1811 Kenwyn

The West Briton Advertiser is Online for certain years. They are currently transcribing 1847. If you have events for those years you could try there.

The Cornish Studies Library at Redruth hold all the old newspapers for Cornwall. You would need to have dates to be able to find anything (if there are entries in the papers) For a complete list of holdings please see - They will not be able to help without dates. It would pay to contact them prior to your trip to see if bookings are necessary.

Hope you have a lovely and productive trip.

Hi Paul,

(1) Do you know Philip Harris and Ann May's children - they seem to have been born all over the place but eventually settled in Crantock ?

My reader and me are in the same place for a short time so will do the St Col Major Baptisms to Phillip and Ann

HARRIS Phillip 25 Oct 1818 Father Lab of Trewoolvas
HARRIS Eliza 2 July 1820 Father Lab of Trewoolvas
HARRIS Jane 16 May 1822 Father Thatcher of Trewoolvas
HARRIS Thomas 31 Jan 1824 father Lab of Town of St Columb
HARRIS Susan 25 Sep 1825 father Lab of Town of St Columb
HARRIS Charity 16 Sep 1827 father Thatcher of St Columb Town

Cheers Kris

Thanks for this - it has thrown up a few extra names I haven't heard before (Jane and Philip are new to me - did they both die quite quickly?) , plus explains the gap in years I had been wondering about.

Cheers,

Paul.

Also have you any idea where "Trewoolvas" is ? I can't find it on googlemaps which is unusual. Do you think it is a mis-spelling ?

Cheers,

Paul.

Hi Paul,

Try Trewolvas  (entries clearly say Trewoolvas with the double o)

Phillip appears in the census. Jane is hard to pick as there are more than 1

Cheers Kris

Have you found everything that you were looking for on Thomas Harris Family?   My Grandmother's Mother was Maria Harris, daughter of Thomas & Charlotte.  If you are still looking for something,  get back to me as I may be able to help.
