Could it be that Ralph was born out of wedlock? To Ralph & Mary Ann Harrison, they then went on to marry different people, Ralph married a Mary Anna Allen and Mary Ann Harrison married to William Warner, quite a bit of supposition there, but possible explanation

Foster Usher,burial Sunderland  1913 estimated birth year 1846

Yes sorry Jamjar, that seems logical & likely, would also explain perhaps the wish to keep Harrison, so there was a distinction between this family & Fosters first family

[RPLownds]

Thanks Radcliffe, appreciated.

why do you suppose,when his parents were married a year before his birth and they are all together in the 1901 census and 1911 census,
write every thing down form the different posts and then put it into order it might be easier to work out
