Title: Harris family Penryn, marriage brickwall
Post by: dairymaid on Tuesday 20 November 12 15:36 GMT (UK)
I am trying to find the marriage of a John Harris and his wife Catherine.

In the 1851 census they are both down as having been born in Penryn.

They had 9 children from what I can see, including children with middle names of Olver and Goodman.

Therefore I would imagine that Catherine's maiden name could be either Olver or Goodman. The children were baptised at St Gluvias with the exception of one who was baptised at Penryn Weslyan.

 The first child was baptised on 5/6/1814.

Can anybody help please?

Hi

Cornwall OPC has a marriage of John Harris to Catharine Oliver in 1812 in St Gluvias.

Glad to be of help.

I think there is an older child baptised in 1812 too.
