Thomas Harris, of Broadhempston

[snk]

Hello, my name is Scott, and this is my first posting/question, so apologies if I give too much or too little detail.

I’m trying to find out some (any) info on my great great great great grandfather, Thomas Harris, and his wife (I have no other info on her).

His son, also named Thomas was married in Sydney in 1850. Thomas Jr was a mariner, and I recently received some info from the maritime museum in Sydney, that shows him gaining his master mariners certificate on 4/07/1872, and has his date of birth as 18/03/1825, in Dartmouth (I had nothing on his DOB before).

I previously had found a marriage notice for one of Thomas Jn’r daughters from 19/08/1874, which mentions his father as “the late Captain Thomas Harris, of Broadhempston, near Totnes, Devonshire, England”. This is all the info I have on Thomas Sr (or any of his family), so any other info anyone could forward would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, and regards,

Scott.
