Hi Harris of Oz,
My gggrandfather was Samuel Harris  (Son of Mark Light Harris).
Samuel's son Albert Ernest Harris came to Australia (date unknown) and
married Hannah Ralph in Newcastle NSW.
I would like more information on the "Light" family, and how you are connected. I am also happy to pass on information from my line if you wish.
If you wish could you contact me via email.
Thanks
CARL HARRIS

Hi Harris of Oz.
With ref to your post of 28 May 2010, I have now confirmed through another Harris contact that "my" Charlotte Harris' parents were John Harris b. 1783 Sherborne, Dorset and Ann Collard b. about 1790 Henstridge, Somerset.
Children:
Jane b 1811 Stalbridge
Charlotte b 1813 Stalbridge married William Pomeroy 17 Apr 1849 Totnes, Devon
                   (Her father's 1852 Will refers to her as " Mrs Charlotte Pomeroy")
Selina b 1819 Stalbridge
Harriet b 1826 Taunton, Somerset
Henry b 1832 Taunton, Somerset
So, although 3 children were born in Stalbridge (I haven't been able to locate any birth or baptism records yet), they don't appear to have an obvious link to your Stalbridge Harris families.
Regards

I believe "Harris of Oz" is descendent from a brother of Samuel Harris.
Which of his brothers are we talking

Hi to all Harris researchers
I found a Transcript of the Will of Samuel Harris who died 7 Apr 1888 at Weston Farm, Stalbridge. It may be of interest.

Hi. Just entering this thread as it came up in a search.  My immediate Harris family (William Charles Harris and Elizabeth Brown) from Aldgate, London emigrated to Australia (first Tasmania, then Melbourne) in 1884. 
I have 6 small but reliable DNA matches who have a Harris family in Stalbridge, Dorset, including one that includes Mark Light Harris (Samuel Harris and Sarah Light) in the tree.  The six are at first glance unrelated families, but I am looking for a link to my London family by building a research tree. 
One 4th cousin match that shares a match with a known member of my Harris family includes: Samuel Harris (1748-1828) married Jenny Duffet (1746-1816), their daughter Alice Harris (1779-1879) married John Lilly Ralph (1774-1850). I have not yet come across a Charlotte.
Love to correpond with any of the posters here if they think our families may be linked. So many Harris in Stalbridge and London!!
