Henry George Harrison & Alice Harvey Life Unknown (please help!)

[Noy1818]

Hello again everyone,

Going through records I found that I know nothing about Henry George Harrison (1859-) and his wife Alice Harvey (-1883). I don't even know their parents. All I know is that they came from England? Maybe London? Most of their children were born in Australia, so they must have immigrated at some point in their lives. I know that's not much to work off but it's really all I have.

Thanks in advance,
Noy1818

Hi Noy

Have you the dates of birth of the children born in Australia so we can work backwards from there?

Henry Harrison 1883 – 1883
Birth- Carlton, Victoria, Australia

George Henry Harrison 1884 – 1927
Birth- Carlton, Victoria, Australia


Ernest Peverel Harrison 1886 –
Birth- Carlton, Victoria, Australia


Ethel Mary Harrison 1887 – 1970
Birth- Carlton, Victoria, Australia

George did marry after Alice's death. But I am not sure if her death date is correct. As they had 4 children together but 3 are born after she died. But they are registed as her children. He had 7 children with his new wife (I think, its really unclear)

Hopefully that helps

No marriage of a Henry Harrison with or without a middle name to Alice Harvey showing up in the England & Wales Index. They might have married in Australia

There are 2 possible Henry George Harrisons in the birth index Dec 1858 and Mar 1859

will have a look at the census to see if I can pick them both up but without middle names there are quite a lot of Henry Harrisons

Thanks Dawn for that, hopefully we can find something! There parents couldn't be anymore creative with names!
