ps The 1881 census has him born in Staffordhire, Westbury not Shropshire.  Am I looking at the same entry you found?

Hiya Allan,
                   Your a  Real Star, i could kiss you lol.
Yes this is the family i was looking for. been searching for months.  The Son George Edmund  Harris [22.]  i have been trying to find out his parents name. i couldn't find much information on George. with him being Born in Belgium.  everyone i spoken too said their isn't a Westbury in Staffs.
no such place. but their is a Westbury in Shropshire.
i was trying to get George's Birth and Marriage certifcate. without any Luck at all.

Thank You so much for your help much  Appreicated.

Hi Mistey,

The 1861 reference I found was on Ancestry too if you want to have a look at it.  Glad I could help.  I guess the big question now is how he ended up being born in Belgium and then didn't admit to it on later censuses! (Would you? :))
