Hello Simonsez

John William Scott Harrison is my great grandfather too, which means my mother (daughter of Frank Robson Harrison his eldest son I think) and one of your parents are cousins! I still remember his wife Mary my great grandmother who died at 95 - used to go and visit her in Roker as a child.

I have a few more generations of the Harrison line, and a picture of John William Scott Harrison and his children, and other family memorabilia. Don't want to send these if you already have them, but do get in touch and lets compare notes.

Hi Ian,
Wow, I haven't logged on here in awhile. Very interesting , My dad's (Ernie or John Ernest Harrison) father was John William (Called Bill at some point and his brother was Frank Robson.
I would love to share/compare notes and pictures.
