Title: Harris surname in Little Hadham, Hertfordshire, Need help!
Post by: faintman on Thursday 10 October 13 08:47 BST (UK)

Hi,

I am looking for anyone to help me with my Harris ancestors. My earliest ancestor is Samuel Harris born c.1756 in Albury, Hertfordshire (I think). He married 29/12/1779 in Little Hadham, Hertfordshire to Elizabeth Collison. I cannot find his christening record I suspect he is christened in Albury, Hertfordshire as that is what the marriage record says he is from. I would really like someone to look into this and find someone with the same family line. I can add further descent information if needed.

thanks,

Jordan.

Hi Jordan

Have you looked at HALS?
Lots of Herts Harris stuff here . . . .

Just enter Harris and (up to ) 1850 no need for anything else (at this stage)

Regards
Ray

Hi Jordan,

I have been looking at this Harris line for quite a while, and I am also stuck with Samuel Harris. I can go back further with Elizabeth Collison if that helps.
