Hi

Not an easy one.

A couple of long shots for you to ponder, FreeBMD:
Marriage Reg.
Q4 1837 Samuel Harris & X, Stoke Damerel. V 9, P 532.
Q3 1842 Richard Harris & (possibly, though there are others) Agnes Ryan, Stoke Damerel. V 9, P 443.

Birth Reg.
Q2 1838 Mary Harris, Stoke Damerel. V 9, P 434.

Considerations:
They could have married before Q3 1837, which means they wouldn't be on the FreeBMD.
Names are open to error or variants and therefore transcribed incorrectly as you see them.
People can be born/live in one area and be baptised/married in another.

I'll mull over your suggestions, many thanks.

Sarah Hannah HARRIS was baptised 11 Feb 1838 at Stoke Damerel Church. Father a mariner.
The 1841 census shows a candidiate for Sampson aged 51 living at Sancreed, Cornwall HO107 piece 144 folio 14/36 page 8.
Also in 1841, Charlot HARRIS, 2; Jno HARRIS 7 and Sarah HARRIS 3 living in household of Mary HANCOCK in Stoke Damerel HO107 piece 275 folio 8 page 10.

Hi

Yeah, makes sense, I should have realised that the 1838 'birth' could have been a baptism and probably born before civil reg's, nice find.

Hey , you are good.  I already had the baptism for Sarah Hannah, but the father being a mariner confirms it is correct, many thanks.  Now how about 1851 census?  My great grandfather Sampson should have been in that one, son of Charlotte Augusta and Sampson born Woolwich 1849.  Later in the year of 1851 the next child Frederick Horatio was born in Mile Town, Sheppey.  I have been through Sheppey house by house and not found them.

Hmmm - a Charlotte Augusta HARRIS' death was registered in Sheppey in Sept qtr 1854 - mother or daughter?

[suejim]

That is the mother of Sampson, born 1849 the only thing I know about her apart from her death is that she was born in about 1818, no idea where!

My guess is Ireland and that is possibly where Sampson met and married her.
