HARRIS of Swimbridge/South Molton

[AnneG7]

Sorry but I don't think we have a link.   No Charles William in my tree - my Charles was a Charles John.    Obviously lots of Harris' around the South Molton area!    Good luck with your research.

Further to my previous post last year, I am now trying to find out any information on the parents of William Harris b. 1816 Cruwys Morchard and Ann Adams b. 1817 Totnes (I think).  Their common name makes it quite difficult, and I need some help in where I should start searching for their details.

I'm looking for information on the siblings Ann b. 1842, Thomas b. 1846, Selena/Selina b. 1850 and Charles b. 1862, father was William Harris.  Their eldest sister Elizabeth emigrated to Australia in  1850s, and there was another brother William.

MT,

Thank you for your reply.  I see you are new to RootsChat. 

I would love more information on Charles and Elizabeth, I only have what in on census data.  I have a fair bit of information on Charles oldest sister Elizabeth who emigrated to Australia in the 1850s.  Don't know very much about her and whether she travelled to Aus on her own or with friends/relatives.  She married William Sayer Price in Rutherglen, Victoria in 1857 where she lived and raised 7 children. 

I understand that after several responses on this website, we can then communicate privately.  Looking forward to your next reply.

I'm descended from Elizabeth Harris, dtr of William and Anne,who migrated to Australia and married William Sayer Price. I would love any further info. you may have on this family. I am mystified as to why she appears to have been the only one of her family to migrate, and how she happened to have been on the goldfields near Beechworth where she married .

Merl,

I know very little about how and why only Elizabeth emigrated to Australia somewhere between 1851 (England census) and 1857 when she married William Sayer Price in Beechworth. 

I do have a fair bit of information of her life in Rutherglen and that of her family.  I am the great, great granddaughter of  Elizabeth and William Sayer Price.  My great grandmother is Marion Elizabeth Price (b. 1860 Rutherglen) and my grandmother is Olive Rose Chandler (b. 1892 Rutherglen).

Would love any other information on the children of either Elizabeth & William Sayer Price or their offspring.
