Joseph Harrison mother's name
« on: Thursday 10 November 22 14:49 GMT (UK) »
     My great grand father Joseph Harrison married in 1863 my great grand mother Sarah Tindal
at Cockermouth in the parish of Brigham. On the marriage certificate, Joseph Harrison is said to be
the son of William Harrison husbandman.

 I am searching for the name of his mother
 
  If we go by the census taken after their marriage, he was born in 1841 at Cockermouth.

  But in the 1841,1851,1861 census , I just cannot find a Joseph Harrison, born in 1841, who is a
  member of a family headed by William Harrison.
      Hoping someone can help me.  Thank you in advance.

This looks as if it could be his birth certificate information that would give you the name of his mother. Joseph Harrison - Cockermouth-March1841 qtr- Vol 25-Page 97

There is a Mary Harrison with Joseph in Cockermouth who seems to fit.

1841-51 Census - Brigham Row, Crosthwaite, Cockermouth, Cumberland, England

I wonder if this Joseph is the one living with Mary and 2 other children in 1841:

Brigham Row, Crosthwaite, Cockermouth, Cumberland:
Mary Harrison aged 25 (born c.1816)
Thomas Harrison aged 12 (born c.1829)
Henry Harrison aged 9 (born c.1832)
Joseph Harrison aged under 1 (born c.1841)

In 1851, they are still living in Brigham Row, but this time with Margaret Harrison, unmarried, born c.1791, who is the head of household. Thomas and Henry could be the youngest children of Margaret, but Joseph seems too young to have been - Margaret would have been 50 years old when he was born - so could he have been unmarried Mary's illegitimate son? They are all described as born in Keswick, Cumberland, but logically Joseph was probably born in Cockermouth, where he was living as an infant.

 Thank you very much Queenie, David ,Paco.
 
 I have the birth certificate of a Joseph Harrison born in January 1841 at Keswick , son of
   Mary Harrison spinster living in Brigham Row.
    I thought i had the wrong birth certificate, Now that the three of you found the same
     information, it seems I have the right one.
       
      But what sent me in the wrong direction was that he names William Harrison as his father.
      at his marriage.

      Thank you again.

Please Remember that there is a Brigham about two miles from Cockermouth and also a hamlet called Brigham within the confines of Keswick. Keswick came within the Cockermouth Registration District.
