Harrison: Victorian Look-up please
« on: Wednesday 08 August 12 12:36 BST (UK) »
I'm looking for anything (marriage / death / voter list etc) for a Ruth Rhoda HARRISON. She was born in 1837 in England and arrived in Aust. (Sydney) with her parents (Christopher & Emma) in 1853.
I can track the family to Victoria (abt 1857) but can find no record of Ruth after their arrival in Sydney.
Any help would be welcome. :)

Hi,

Just for interst there was a Christopher Harrison involvced in a Supreme Court of Victoria land dispute with a John Ackland.  This was gazetted in 1859, Harrison was the Plaintiff.

Might not be your Christopher though.

Regards
Gerry
