The Harris Family

[tigger88]

Hi all
I have two certificates from the GRO that are not our family and I wondered if anyone else out there was researching the Harris family.
The wrong certificates I have are:
Birth:  Nellie Harris b.March 1883 registered Kidderminster, Worcestershire.
Mother: Mary Ann Harris nee GUEST; Father:George Harris, bricklayer.  Address of birth 35 Pleasant Street but the rest is unreadable.

Death: Joseph Harris 23 Nov 1901 @ Birmingham Street, Stourbridge ; brickwork labourer; Registered Stourbridge, Worcestershire/Staffordshire by daughter H.Harris who was present at the death.

I cannot find either of these two people on the 1901 census, and I don't think they are connected to each other but they could be.  If this is your family, let me know and I can email the certificates to you.
Thank you.

Not my family, and you have not put age at death, but this one is a burner in a firebrick yard with daughter H
1901 census
living at 70 Birmingham Street
Joseph Harris   70
Harriet Harris   29  daughter
Edith Harris   9
 RG13   Piece   2753   Folio 39    Page 22

Discrepancy age at census/age at death, it happens,,,,,
Deaths December quarter   1901
 Joseph Harris age 67    Stourbridge    6c   89

This is the marriage of the parents, probably:
Marriages June quarter 1877
Mary Ann Guest      Kidderminster    6c  293    
George Harris        Kidderminster    6c  293

If the age at death has been incorrectly recorded, Nellie might have died a few days after birth:
Births June quarter  1883
Nellie Harris        Kidderminster    6c   242   
Deaths June quarter 1883   
Nellie Harris    12    Kidderminster    6c   141

HI Chempat
It certainly looks like you have the right family in the census.  Joseph's age on his death certificate was 67 so being 70 on the census isn't such a stretch.
I am not sure about Nellie Harris though, unless she was 12 DAYS old.  Anyway I am hoping that someone with these people in their family will see this and contact me for the certificates.
Thank you for finding the marriage too.
Best wishes
Lesley
