Re: trying to see if its possible to extend a family link in the Harrison Family
Moira , definitely on the correct path, Hannah being the sister of William and John Harrison being a brother. You have the correct occupation, Rope Maker I found a birth for a John Harrison for 1781.
Now its just a case of finding the correct John Harrison and Wife Elizabeth parents of these 3 children. With the said occupation of Rope Maker.
I tried to see if there was an 1841 census for John Harrison (Rope Maker)
Most of the baptisms, weddings appear to have taken place at Saint Peter Cathedral.
Just wondering if there is a death or burial for a John Harrison (Rope Maker)
with a possible age and perhaps other family members in the same grave.
It certainly gets harder when you go back to around 1800.
Thanks Barry

Re: trying to see if its possible to extend a family link in the Harrison Family
Hi Barry,
I am presuming the marriage I gave you earlier is the right one, so,
her surname is Robinson. William, the first child you have was born in 1811
which leaves a gap of about eight years from the marriage in 1802.
John the father is said to be of the parish of Eckington, (re the marriage
to Elizabeth).
If you google Eckington births or Ridgeway Registers, there is the
possibility of two more children baptised at Eckington in 1803 and 1805
plus the burial of one of these children.
Re: trying to see if its possible to extend a family link in the Harrison Family
Barry,
This may be of no use to you at all but I have a Harrison/ Robinson connection with the Robinsons being in Sheffield back to about 1800 (I am also stuck there) but my Harrisons were from the Doncaster area and worked on the river. That is Richard Harrison was a "mariner" born in 1763. Both his granddaughters, Hannah and sarah (Sally) Lodge were born in Doncaster and married Robinsons in Sheffield in 1836 and 1844.
Richard had at least one brother William born in 1760 but I have no information on him or any other siblings.
I know this is a bit early for your man however it might be worth looking at this family. They are on Find My past.
