I am trying to find info on Joseph Harris and Jane Canning. They
would have married around 1878 but so far no luck. I found an 1878 marriage for Joseph Harrison and Jane Cannon but haven't followed up on that yet. They would have married in Liverpool (if they married at all) had 6 children John b 1879 (think he died fairly young) Mary Catherine born 1880 (married Patrick Farrell - they were my grandparents) Joseph abt 1883 Thomas 1886 Owen 1889 Jane 1894
I live in NZ so have to rely on the internet sites which can be very
frustrating.
Thanks in advance Barbara Farrell
