Title: Charles Fisher Harrison
Post by: kerszk on Friday 11 July 14 12:23 BST (UK)
Hello
I am trying to find some information on Charles Fisher Harrison born around 1850 in England. He married Frances Bartholomew (born app 1850) and they had a son Henry Richard Harrison born app 1879 in Lincolnshire and died in 1943 Shepparton Victoria Australia. I really have very little to go on and would really appreciate some help. I don't seem to be able to find any census records or immigration.  I would be very grateful for and information.
Thanks kerszk

Hi kerszk

Could you tell us where your information came from ?I cant see a Henry Richard Harrison born app 1879 in Lincolnshire  although there are a couple of options born in Yorkshire ?

Also where did the names of his parents come from? as again a marriage for them in the uk is not showing up? as far as I can see.

have you got and certs for any of them that can confirm the information, so we can work from those?

Kind regards Judi.

Interesting census from  Suzard

This looks to be the marriage for that couple

1874 Oldham marriage
Harrison    Charles        Oldham    8d   1118   
Harrison    Frances        Oldham    8d   1118   

Both appear on the same page ???? both with surname of Harrison

just found the marriage and traced Frances backwards - seems her name was correct.

Thank you everyone for helping.
Most of the info has come from the family. I am trying to confirm what they have. So I am not sure how accurate it is .
If the 1881 census is this couple , where is the son?
I do have a marriage cert for a Charles Fisher Harrison marries Fanny Till 1842 Paddington Middlsex

Maybe they have got it all wrong.
Let's start for the other end.
I know that Billy( maybe Williiam) was born in Victoria Australia, His father was Charles John Harrison born Australia 1916. Charles John's father was Henry Richard Harrison born app 1879. The family were told Henry was born in  Boston Lincolnshire.
Not sure where to go from here.
