Could it be this one in 1871 census, born in Essex?

Hi all,

Firstly sorry for the late reply.  Loft conversion, work and other bits of the family (Present and history) have done their best to stop me and i end up missing things .... Hence coming back to here so late. Thanks again to everyone.

Hi, how old does emma say she is in 1871 please

Emma Harris (born Emma Nicholls born 02/02/1838 in Newington, Surrey).

So we are looking as a possible death of Emma between the date of the 1871 census and the 1881 census, I have used the GRO index and come up with these possibles.

HARRIS, EMMA       31 
GRO Reference: 1871  J Quarter in SAINT OLAVE SOUTHWARK  Volume 01D  Page 126

HARRIS, EMMA       36 
GRO Reference: 1872  D Quarter in SAINT SAVIOUR SURREY  Volume 01D  Page 100
These are the only two that could possibly be her if she died before the Deth Cert I have of an Emma Harris.

Igor-Thanks.

Certainly this looks like the best prospect out of the two.

She's there with William and the children in the 1871.  It seems to be between then and the birth of Bessie Harris, with MMN Cameron, in the Apr-Jun qtr of 1875 that something happens.

I found Bessie as you mentioned:
HARRIS, BESSIE  CAMERON     CAMERON 
GRO Reference: 1875  J Quarter in ST SAVIOUR SURREY  Volume 01D  Page 181

I then did a Freebmd search on William Harris marrying a Sarah and came up with;
Marriages Dec 1879
HARRIS    William Henry        Lambeth    1d   713

Marriages Sep 1881
Harris    William Henry        Lambeth    1d   589

Neither match with a William Harris on the marriages. There are other in the area but with wrong names like William John etc. Again none match a Sarah Cameron.

Deaths of two children?
Sep 1871 St Saviour 1d 27
Harris, Anne Eliza
age 6   
Harris, Harriet Janet   
age 1   

Both buried City of London on 27 August

They look very likely. (Althought the link isn't showing anything I think it is down).

Also in 1871, a Sarah Cameron, 28, born Southwark, Collar Worker, boarder in Newington

Definitely worth keeping in mind.

So looks like we haven't got a firm DOD for William (Henry) Harris or Emma Harris or did I miss something.

I think I may have tracked him down.

I will be waiting until payday to order this one.

Key things to look for on it will be:
Informant.
Occupation.
Location of death.

Update when the cert comes in.
