Ian Harrison of Victoria, Australia, has contacted the society for help in searching for his Harrison ancestors. We think we have traced his great great grandfather Henry to Earby with the following entry in the Thornton -in- Craven baptism records “ Henry HARRISON son of Wm and Jane (nee Dean) baptised 7th October 1804”.
Other children to William and Jane were Jeremiah, Jane, Ann, Thomas and William. We have found burial records for both a William and Jane HARRISON of about the right age in Broughton parish registers. there addresses being given as of Carleton.
Jane HARRISON of Carlow Beck nr Carlton buried 28/12/1847 aged 74 William HARRISON of Carlton buried 31/3/1848 aged 79.
Can anyone help prove that these Broughton Harrisons are the same people as the Thornton Harrisons? If this is the case then we have dates for their births and we can search for their baptisms. So can you help with these HARRISONS? If so contact Bob Abel on 01282 843850 or bobabel@talk21.com .
