I have update George W

And yes you are right there is no connection

It mentioned on Robert Johns death cert  Florence was located in Belfast - so just wondering if there is any connection with Belfast

[Sinann]

What death certificate?
Do you mean the newspaper clippings?
One of the papers is a Belfast paper that the report of the inquest was in. Nothing to do with Florence.

[HarrisonIreland]

Yes sorry I meant the newspaper clippings

[Sinann]

There is only from 1913 to 1921 with break for his service in the war(he could have been discharged early for some reason) and he must have been in England a while before he died. So all the children's births need to fit into those 8 years.

It's odd Florence didn't say he was dead on Victoria's death cert.

[HarrisonIreland]

OK I will try to search in those years

Maybe Florence wanted to forget how her husband died

[Sinann]

I'd say Florence just answered the question 'Father's occupation?' as printer without pointing out he was deceased, the registrar would likely assume he was living and wouldn't have asked.
I don't think you will be able to sort out their children's births at the moment as IrishGenealogy only goes to 1916 and FamilySearch doesn't have mother's maiden name on it's index even though it goes to 1958, unless of course someone else is also researching this family and gets in touch with you.
Going back further with the Harrisons, you need William G marriage, as was pointed out there are at least two possible marriages for him

OP should order up these two cert.

You could order these https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/civil-records/help/i-want-to-get-a-copy-of-a-certificate-what-do-i-do
or wait for them to come online, fingers crossed fairly soon, should have been next month but we believe there is a delay.

I think it's time to have a look at Florence.

I'm not 100% sure about this
I think this is Florence and family in 1911
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Dublin/North_Dock/Northumberland_Square/30885/
On her marriage cert her father is Thomas William Clerk
This I think is his death in 1902

I can't find Thomas and Mary Frances in 1901 but the children appear to be in several boarding schools.
Florence born 1887 has a birth cert but the link to the image is incorrect but there is a baptism

Her sister Charlotte has a birth cert which gives mother's maiden name as Rogers

Thomas and Mary Frances married 1883

Thanks I will apply for birth certs and let you know when they come back

This does look like Florences family the only question I have is there is a William Thomas Heffernan listed as a son any ideas on this

Robert John Harrison my grandfather had a son called Thomas who had a daughter call Sarah who was born in the UK - any ideas on how to find her?

[Sinann]

I'd say William Thomas Heffernan is Kathleen the housekeeper's son, just an error by Mary Frances.

If you know Thomas' wife's surname you could look on https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl
The GRO have a site as well but I've never used it so don't know much about it.

If there is a chance she is still living you should remove her name from your post.

[HarrisonIreland]

Unfortunately I do not have any links or names of wives or husbands to any relatives who have died.

The only current connections I have are with my mothers sisters.
