I don’t want to complicate matters anymore but thought I would just post this to bear in mind when you start searching for Robert’s father.
You know from Robert’s marriage that his father was William.
I had a quick look for other Harrisons in West Derby district
1871 3802/80/25
Thomas Harrison 32yrs Carter b Wellingore
1871 3832/56/14
William Harrison 26 yrs Carter b Boothby. *previously mentioned as yours
But there is also this man
1871 3802/79/24
He is transcribed as William Harbeson 28yrs b Wellington, Lancashire
But it should read Harrison and Wellingore -although it still shows as Lancashire. His wife though shows Lincolnshire and there is a marriage.
Here is the F S link

He is a Drayman so it is interesting that Adam Harrison mentioned earlier is a Waggoner and there are a couple of Williams who are a Carter and a Drayman - similar occupations.

Hello everyone!
So, I received the birth cert for Robert Harrison.
I am now extremely confused....
So, I have that Robert Harrison was born on June 6th, 1889, in Everton North, Liverpool. His mother is listed as Mary Ann Harrison nee Jones.
His father, however, is listed as "Adam Harrison." Not William Adam or anything else, just Adam Harrison.
On his wedding cert, where he married Ethel Salter Phillips, which I know to be fact, Robert Harrison's father's name is William Harrison.
The William Harrison I found in the censuses always appeared to be William Adam Harrison as his full name... so I don't know if I should consider this accurate or false.
What do you all think about this?
