Australia / Re: Harrison: Victorian Look-up please

Hi Cando,

I still think there is a connection.
I have a parish record of a birth of Emma Claridge to Louisa Claridge in 1807 in Brington with no mention of the fathers name.
Emma's mother (?) Louisa Claridge married my direct ancestor in Brington Northamptonshire & had a son William who came out to Australia in 1852 ie.  they are half siblings.  Louisa's husband died early & she remarried several times & I have her in the 1841 UK Census living with her current husband and her 'housekeeper' Emma Harrison in Surrey.
I know that Emma Claridge married Christopher Harrison 25/6/1829 in Brington Northamptonshire by banns with the witnesses being Thomas Faulkner & Martha Harrison.  They had a son Christopher in 1830.
Does any of this sound familiar?

Blimey
I have just been reading the posts re Christopher Harrison & Emma Claridge.  It appears that Emma came out to Australia just as her half brother did & I had no idea! Nor did I have any idea about the hanging of Christopher (I visited the Old Melbourne Goal last school holidays - if only I had known).

Also very interested to know Cando's relationship to the photo of Louisa who is her GGGrandmother - the name Louisa appears in my family as well.

Regards
