Harris from Bristol

[Alex and Jan]

William Harris age 19 came to Australia in 1849.
His parents were Frederick and Eliza living in Bristol.
We are wondering how we could find out if he had siblings/
We do not know when Frederick married Eliza.
Can anyone help ?

Thanks so much Susan and Jan

It looks like William's family :-)
He came here as an assisted emigrant and the shipping records only give the parents names not the fathers occupation.

Thanks again :-)

Sorry to be ignorant - what does F S mean ? (Mary Bindell 20 in 1841)

Could we ask for a lookup for this family in 1861 please ?

THANK YOU 

Alex and Jan

Hi Alex & Jan,

F. S. - Female.  Single.  (I think  )  Perhaps Jan will confirm 

The only family member I can find in 1861, so far, is Frederick's brother James.

James Harris   Head  Un  47  Builders Clerk  Bristol St. Augustine
Eliza Robbinson  servant  Un 24  House servant  Glos. Almondsbury

There is a possibility for Eliza but not sure

RG9/1734  folio 25  page 2  St. Philip & Jacob Bristol

Philip Alfred Ward Smith  Head  Widower  45  Proprietor of four houses
                                                       St.Mary Redcliffe Bristol
George Philip Alfred Ward Smith  son  unm  16  Apprentice -----?   -----?
                                                                                  Bristol
Eliza Harris  servant unmarried  50  House servant  St.Michael City of
                                                                                                  Bristol

Could they have emigrated also?

Will check 1871.
