My gr-grandfather, John Abraham Harrison was born 4 August 1830 in Holme-Upon-Spaulding-Moor to John Harrison and Mary Falkingham. Mary was born 4 January 1797. I don't know anything more about John. They married 25 June 1818 in the same place and had 10 children up to 1843. My gr-grandfather emigrated to Canada West about 1855.
Can this family be found on any census?
Thank you.

Mary Harrison, widow, 64yrs, farmer of 8 acres, is on the 1861 census with her son James and his family in Holme Upon Spalding Moor. I can send you a copy of the original census entry if you send me your email address.

Thanks, Kathy:
I don't see John Abraham Harrison Jr with his family. He was born in 1830 and married Hannah Holmes in 1853 in H on SM. She was the daughter of Abraham Holmes and Rosanna Thomas, of whom I only know their names. Are these your line?

When I get a chance, I will have another look - it is possible he is living in another house as an employee.....
In my tree.....I have Martha HOLMES (born c. 1817) who was married to George ROBINSON (born 1810) . They married in 1841 and Martha already had two sons....the youngest being named George Robinson Holmes - so I am assuming that George ROBINSON was his father!!!
Martha's parents were Francis HOLMES & Ann (?).
Francis was born c. 1771 (aged 70 in 1841 census)...but I haven't done any research on this line yet!! Do you have any info on Abraham Holmes ?? Is he connected to Francis ?

Hi
I have just scrolled all the way through Holme on S M in 1851 - and can't see your John A. Harrison...
The only other John Harrison is aged 18...and an apprentice shoemaker living with Thomas Holliday & his family.
Do you think this could this be Hannah HOLMES ? Maybe the William Harrison is a brother of her future husband ????

Kathy:
That is most probably the correct Hannah and William is her future brother-in-law! It's funny that you haven't found John Abraham! I wonder where he was?
William married Ellen Falkingham in 1866. As far as I can determine, she isn't a close relation.
I don't know anything about Abraham Holmes. I haven't pursued this line because my line is through John Abraham's second wife, Eliza Jane Ogden, from Canada.

John Married a Lucinda Hart 24.2.1776 Thorton by Pocklington
John had a daughter Rachel Harrison who married a Richard Smith
John Harrison was the son of Robert Harrison born 1724 Barmbt Moor and Dorothy born 1728 Barmby moor
Wonder if our Harrisons could be related?
