Yes that's her thank you.  She married Henry Richard Harris.

Hi all jmol17 here
looked at the post of booth births and found a birth of Edward Earlam Booth 1864 Cork - Father John Peter Booth Belleview house mother Hannah Ransford Bird. Found that John Peter married again in Bristol to the above Hannah in 1859 - his first wife Harriet Barbara Chamley died in 1856 (FindMyPast) Most trees associated with Harriet have her death in 1884. Quite a few records re Edward Earlam on various sites too.

Hi jmol17
I had seen that marriage but hadn't linked him to our John Peter, but as our John Peter died in Bristol that would make sense.  The Booths seem to have travelled/moved around a lot, it must have been with regard to the business.  I have even traced them to Chelmsford in Essex. I've not done much on my trees just recently and let my subscription to Ancestry lapse so I will have to get back into it again.

This may only be a bit of an aside to your queries:

My Great Grandfather was Secretary to Booth & Fox Limited/ Monkstown/ co Cork. He was an Accountant.

Here is a link to Guy's Almanac 1913: SEE  PAGE 121 http://www.corkpastandpresent.ie/places/streetandtradedirectories/1913guysdirectorylmx/#/122/

or pdf version:
http://www.corkpastandpresent.ie/places/streetandtradedirectories/guyscorkalmanac1913_OCR.pdf

Both Messrs. Booth and Fox were listed as residents of Monkstown co. Cork, approximately 14 km. southeast of Cork City.

I don't know if this might help you to narrow your search.

Mike

As a further thought, the Monkstown, co. Cork address might be a farm location for the feather business.
