My ancestor, John Harrison b ca 1807 Broughton, Lincolnshire, m Hannah England b Orthorpe ca 1808.
They are last seen in Worsbrough Bridge census 1851 with 3 children and his brother William Harrison b ca 1822 in Keadby.

John went to America with his two daughters soon after. I would like to know how I can find out what happened to his wife Hannah and brother William who were left behind.

In 1861, John's son Thomas, also left behind in England, is a lodger in the Ducker household where he meets his future wife, Maria Ducker. They have six surviving children, b 1870- 1880 named John, James, Annie, Fred, Wilfred and Sarah Jane. I see that they were in Kimberworth and Rotherham where Thomas is last seen in the 1901 census. Sarah Jane married Percy Hague but her three children have already passed and I don't know who their children are. I would love to connect with any English cousins!
Any suggestions or help much appreciated. This is a wonderful website!

Hi Phyliis

I found a possible burial for Hannah Harrison b.1808 in Kimberworth. The burial took place on 26 Nov 1857 at St Thomas Kimberworth. The age of this Hannah was 52 which gives a birth year of 1805 but it is not uncommon for a person's age to be wrong. She was living at Thorpe Common.
I found the burial on findmypast.

You could order the relevant death certificate to see if her death was registered by her son or another relation. It may give other information.

Harrison Hannah Dec 1857 Rotherham 9c 282

Hope this helps
