Harrison Wexford

[HarrisonIreland]

My father was John Harrison and his Father was John George Harrison from Wexford in Ireland
Can anyone help me track my ancestors as I am unable to find any information on Myheritage etc

Many thanks

Welcome.
We need an idea of when John George was born and when and who he married.
Bear in mind you can't name living people on RootsChat.

There is a John George Harrison born in Wexford in Dublin in 1911.
Do you know the religion of your Harrison family

My father was John Harrison born in 1914 and died in 1997 - his father died on the way back from the war  his mother I think was Florence Harrison
 
John George Harrison was born in 1858 - I thought he might be my fathers father but the dates dont seem to match - perhaps he was my great grandfather - I do know

A John George died 1918 but his wife was Elizabeth living in Belfast

Opps that's his mother not his wife, he may not be married.

Where was your father born?

[HarrisonIreland]

I am not sure as his father was a Superintendent for Irish Lights and they lived in a number of places I think around Ireland

My fathers father I am not sure of his first name but I do know he was a Gunner in the Royal Artillary and my father said he was in battle in Turkey

The John George in the census is the Superintendent of Public Lighting, but too old to have a son born 1914.
I wonder if the is some mixup with the generations.

Must be one of his sons who is my father
