Hello Guys,
I did another on the spur internet search which i do randomly because as time goes by more and more content becomes available online.
My 4th Great Grandmother is Elizabeth Harrison born and breed in portadown not sure of her exact birth date but I can confirm Great, Great, Great, Great Grandma Elizabeth along with her TWIN brother where both baptised in 1823 (I have this confirm in writting).
The twins had a big sister and I believe her name was "Sarah Harrison" NONE of the children had middle names. Their Mother and Father are "John and Margaret Harrison" married 1796 in Portadown.
Since 1796 my family name up until my birth (1967) had only changed twice;
1796 - Harrison
1800's - Wilson Not sure exact year (very strong male line)
1939 - Mitchell
As the family of John and Margaret Harrison grew up they slowly moved from Portadown, N.Ireland to Banbridge and then onto Belfast where the bulk of the "Wilson - Mitchell" still live.
John and Margaret Harrison were farmers - don't know what they grew just know they were farmers, in Portadown.
If anyone has any paperwork I would be glad to have a peep. Oh I see the mention of Scotland as far as I know the family never moved there - BUT Valentine lived and worked in Scotland part of his life and also spent a large chunk of his working life in New Zealand, he died on a sinking ship.
That's it for now - Probably best to email as I rarely use this site: (*)
