So, the families I posted in 1901 and 1911 are correct.

Birth for Edith?

Births Dec 1888 (>99%)
HARRIS Edith Mary Greenwich 1d 987

Thanks for all the replies - George Henry Harris DOB 1899, Ernest Harris DOB 1901, Elsie May Harris DOB 1902 born in Greenwich & Plumstead, There is alo a sister Edith not sure yet of DOB.

As Pauline is a new poster, I will send her a friendly message on how to return to her thread. :-)

If Pauline returns, perhaps she will give us some location info.................and an indication of where she got the birth date, which isn't borne out by any info on the census or freebmd

Probably:
Marriages Dec 1887
Clark Mary Ann E E Greenwich 1d 1524

Marriages Dec 1887
Harris Charles William Greenwich 1d 1521

But who ARE we looking for????

Maureen

Don't think that the Harris/Adams marriage is the correct one - the parish record is on Ancestry and Charles's occupation is given as Basket maker - he is an Iron Founder on the census.

1911 census says married 23 years, ie in 1887/8 - so maybe a second marriage for one of them? But I can find births in the right years in Greenwich for all the children under Harris!

It has happened before, Reggie, just after a Windows update and, guess what, just had a Windows update! It sorted itself out last time - hope it will this time!

Birth year 1 year out?

Births Sep 1898 (>99%)
Harris George Henry Greenwich 1d 1150

I just wondered............it's unusual for Ancestry.

I can't see an Eric either.

If the census info is the right family.............

??????????

Marriages Sep 1894 (>99%)
Adams Mary Ann Islington 1b 646
Barber Annie Maria Islington 1b 646
Cheetham Charles Thomas Islington 1b 646
Harris Charles William Islington 1b 646

Do you mean the amount of white space Reggie? It is Ancestry - for some reason for the last couple of days it is playing up when copying and pasting - I have been deleting the white space but forgot for these.

Having trouble finding the family before the 1911 and no marriage for Charles and Mary Ann and cannot find an Eric.

Pauline

There is no birth on freembd to match the date you give.....what is its source?

And WHERE was he born?

Potty

I have to ask......which site gives such hard-to-assimilate results?
