HARRISON 1847 Wexford

[taramcdsmall]

The letter helps makes sense of things.

So Dr Boxwell was elected Medical Superintendent of the County Wexford Infirmary in 1837.

Major difference to your posts though in that the letter says that ROBERT Harrison was married to a relative of Dr Boxwell NOT Alexander Harrison.

Anyway, this gives me something to work on and a better time frame.

I shall post anything that I find.

Hopefully they can work out who the relation of Henry's was that married Robert Harrison !

We're getting closer anyway

Robert Harrison was born abt 1760.

Henry Boxwell wasn't born 'til 1810.

SO, the lady that Robert married was a bit removed from Henry (hence the 'relative' description on the letter).

There is possibly a 2 generation gap.

I'm wondering MIGHT this Elizabeth Boxell be the connection

Elizabeth Boxwell would have been an aunt to Dr Boxwell !

Dr Henry Harvey Boxwell

HUM

His father Ambrose Boxwell was a Surgeon in Wexford.

Given the ages it's possible that THIS is the Doctor Boxwell whom is being referred to in the letter !
