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

[dawnsh]

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)

A death was registered in 1887 for Erni Peveral Harrison aged 10 months, father H George, mother Alice, ref 800

May I suggest that you seek out Emily HARRISON’s birth details.  Her birth is indexed as 1889, at Carlton, Victoria, Australia with parents as Hy Geo HARRISON and Alice HARVEY.   The Vic BDM ref is #1550.   

That birth cert should be handwritten, and include signature of the informant, perhaps Emily’s mum Alice.  It would be giving you first hand information from Emily’s parent about Emily, themselves and Emily’s older siblings.     

I think her older siblings would be
Henry George, born and died Carlton 1883.
George Henry, born 1884 Carlton, died 1927, Camperdown (Victoria Australia)
Ernest Perverel, born 1886 Carlton, died 1887 Carlton, Victoria   (Well found Dawn  )
1887 Ethel May, born 1887 Carlton, died Preston Victoria as Ethel FOOTE in 1970

I can give you the BDM ref nos from the online index for all these likely siblings.


Cheers,  JM

I do not have a date or location of henry's death. So that is what is making this difficult. I have a 1901 census that shows the 2nd wife's children in London. I have worked off other people's research so I'm not sure if something has been confused somewhere. There is a lot of Henry Harrison's and Alice Harvey's, so that's why I uploaded it to here, thinking someone might pick up something.

Hi Noy

I don't think the London Link is quite right. That man could be the 'other' one I mentioned at the start of this.

Which of Henry's surviving children is your ancestor and what happened to them? did they stay in Australia?

Re marriage #1468, you can pay for and download it immediately according to majm.

Why don't you have a go with that rather than using everybody else's research and then see where that leads you.

I'm looking into getting one. I am related to  Ethel Mary Harrison (1887-1970). She was born in Australia and died in Australia. One of the first wife's children.

Sorry. I'm not familiar with Australian marriage certs, was he named on it?, did he sign as a witness?

In Engand sometimes the father is shown as deceased and that's in the occpation box.

[Noy1818]

Do you mean Henry? In the census?

[dawnsh]

No on Ethel's marriage.
