Vectis - I wonder if a new thread should be started for this hunt as this thread is so long and complicated.  A new thread could be easily linked to this one.

PM sent as well - read quickly, very exciting!  ;D :)

Sorry to hear that nanna was always very secretive and I had no idea who her mother was. I have a copy of her marriage certificate and a certificate for a Eileen May Harriss! My mum thought she may have been married before!

Hi
Just to confirm ;D
Is the marriage certificate you have the one for the marriage I have listed on pg 4 of this thread (reply #30)?

Whoa ! exciting developments RAh32!  I think we are getting to the stage where things are a little confused, Judith has suggested that we might need a new thread which is linked, but that has me completely flummoxed :) as to 'how to' and in what form, I have only just mastered 'reply' :)

Sorry - I wasn't very clear.  I think info re Nellie HARRIS/HARRILL/LEE and her parents/spouse/children is in the right place here on this thread.

What I meant and didn't say properly is that I think a hunt for earlier information on the HARRILL family in the 1800s should be on a new thread.

If you want to do that, Vectis, then you may choose to put in on an English board but it could stay on this Aussie board if you like. I can PM you with how to do it and I can easily add the link once you have a new thread.

Anyhow that's just my opinion......................... :D

I agree with you Judith.
If there is more to discover about Nellie in Australia, then there is no need to start up a new thread.

Right guys hopefully things have settled down here at home and I can get on with the fun stuff :)  I think too that it might confuse the Harrill/Harris/Lee thread if we start a new elsewhere so, lets push on. I have spent some time this morning looking for some photos, not an easy job since we downsized :) and come up with 5 photos that are identified on the back! One give instructions on how to get to 144 Northcote St. ! and a picture of 4 children sitting on a door step. Nellie was visited by Grandad, my father and my brother at different times as they were all merchant seamen. There is another with I presume Nellie and Keith on his return form Borneo at wars end. one of his wife Esme and 2 of Clyde. So I guess that confirms we have the right Nellie and right family :) OK I have one more mystery is there a 'Doris' in the equation.

Hi Vectis

How nice if you can put some names to those photos. 

Please remind us what information you have abut a Doris?
