There's only one Harry Harriss (double S) born between1878 and 1884.

Harriss, Harry, Head, age 30, b1881, Haseley, Waggoner on Farm,
    "      , Lucy, Wife, age 30, b 1881, Warwick
    "      , William, Son, age 5, b 1906, Hatton
    "      , Lucy, Dau, age 4, b 1907, Hatton
    "      , Maude, Dau, age 4, b 1907, Hatton
    "      , William, Boarder, Widower, age 66, b1845, Farm Labourer, Place of Birth Not Known

Address - 8 Hatton Terrace, Budbrooke, Warks

Without the double S, there are a potential 18 or so Harrys

Might the above fit the bill

Thank you Hanes & Jacques,

The Harry C HARRISS (Harris) I am researching was born 1881 Lambeth.  Unfortunately, I cannot find him in either the 1891 or 1901 census returns.  He later married M Pemberton, Lancs 1923.  I don't know why and when the name Harriss was adopted in this family line, all other members of family found were registered and continued to live and die as Harris!!

I confirm that I do have his birth cert and all other items i.e. place of birth, mother's names (both christian and former), father's name and occupation etc., all confirm Harry does belongs to the family I am researching. 

Regards,

What does the C stand for?
When you say you can't find him 1891 or 1901 do you mean him specifically or the family itself? What were the parents names and father's occupation?

Hi Hanes,

The C is for Charles which is also the name of the father.  I have not been able to, without doubt, identify the Harris/harriss family on either the 1881 or 1891.  The family has been found in 1901 residing in Chelsea under a mistranscription.  I think the family were recorded as "Herres".  Charles senior was said to be 41 (was actually 47) born Bethnal Green, occupation groom domestic.

In the 1911 census Charles (Senior) and wife Marian are living in Woodfall Street, Chelsea.

There was also another Harris.  Charles William (jnr) that does not show up in any census until 1911 when he is found living with wife Millie and son Charles in Chelsea.

Perhaps both Harry and Charles joined the armed forces at an early age.  This cannot be confirmed, however.

Regards,
