Thanks for that. This is the right family. I am trying to find out what happened to the girls & Thomas after this time, difficult to find them on the England census.

It looks like the following might be yours too
Thomas Harris death 1857 South Molton
Ann Harris marriage to George Thorn Mar 1861 S Molton 5b 753
Jane Harris marriage to Robert Cann Dec 1874 S Molton 5b 829
William Harris married to Elizabeth Ann Nott Dec 1886 South Molton 5b 809
Charles Harris married Elizabeth Rhoda Heywood Sep 1889 South Molton 5b 761
There are a couple of marriages for Selina but nothing definite in the 1891 census, which would confirm it.

Thanks for that. I think you are right with the marriages, I had found some of them, but you may have filled in some of the gaps. I'll let you know how I go.
Any info. on these families after 1900 would be appreciated.

I have the harris family in my tree and some of these names similar to the ones i have, do you know what williams wifes maiden name was? my william was married to ann spargo, thay also has a son william who moved to the north east to work in the iron mines, let me know if any of this sounds like yours
-
Don't think its the right family. My William Harris was married to an Ann Adams in Swimbridge, Devon 1839.

I have a Charles Harris in my family tree (my great grandfather on my mother's side of the family). He was married to Elizabeth Rhoda Heywood and they lived in South Molton - if he is connected to your tree I would be pleased to share information with you.

I have 2 Charles Harris in my family. The older one married an Elizabeth Carter in 1888 in South Molton. He was born about 1862 in Meshaw, Devon. His son Charles W was born in 1891 in South Molton.
Are either of these your Charles Harris? I have very little info. on either.
-
Sorry but I don't think we have a link. No Charles William in my tree - my Charles was a Charles John. Obviously lots of Harris' around the South Molton area! Good luck with your research.

Further to my previous post last year, I am now trying to find out any information on the parents of William Harris b. 1816 Cruwys Morchard and Ann Adams b. 1817 Totnes (I think). Their common name makes it quite difficult, and I need some help in where I should start searching for their details.

MT,
Thank you for your reply. I see you are new to RootsChat.
I would love more information on Charles and Elizabeth, I only have what in on census data. I have a fair bit of information on Charles oldest sister Elizabeth who emigrated to Australia in the 1850s. Don't know very much about her and whether she travelled to Aus on her own or with friends/relatives. She married William Sayer Price in Rutherglen, Victoria in 1857 where she lived and raised 7 children.
I understand that after several responses on this website, we can then communicate privately. Looking forward to your next reply.
Hirdy :)

I'm descended from Elizabeth Harris, dtr of William and Anne,who migrated to Australia and married William Sayer Price. I would love any further info. you may have on this family. I am mystified as to why she appears to have been the only one of her family to migrate, and how she happened to have been on the goldfields near Beechworth where she married .
-
Merl,
I know very little about how and why only Elizabeth emigrated to Australia somewhere between 1851 (England census) and 1857 when she married William Sayer Price in Beechworth.
I do have a fair bit of information of her life in Rutherglen and that of her family. I am the great, great granddaughter of Elizabeth and William Sayer Price. My great grandmother is Marion Elizabeth Price (b. 1860 Rutherglen) and my grandmother is Olive Rose Chandler (b. 1892 Rutherglen).
Would love any other information on the children of either Elizabeth & William Sayer Price or their offspring.

Hi Hirdy,
How nice to link up with you! My grandmother was Annie, sister of your Marion Chandler/Price. Annie married William Alexander Ritchie in Rutherglen, and we have their family well documented.
There is to be a Ritchie reunion in Corowa/Rutherglen next May when more will be revealed. Maybe you could be there? Not much on the brothers and sisters; tho WS Price had a son WSPrice.
Have just sent for his and Elizabeth's death certs.
Merl.

Merl,
I think you need to have 3 posts before we can go private emails. I already have the death and marriage certificates for William Sayer Price and Elizabeth Harris and I am more that happy to email them to you.
