How did you work back from your father to 1771?

One small point....................

There were no such things as certs before July 1837. Only Parish Registers

Hi everyone, Thank you all so much for helping me with my fathers Mackrell family in Weybourne, I am now finishing my fathers Harris family, I have found James Harris b.1771 married Phoebe Early,he ws born in South Newton Wilts and died in Westbury, Wilts, however he lived in Yateley/Hartley Wintney area as gypsies now I have his parents as Robert Harris b 1748, and Mary Edwards from Westbury and his grandfather Robert Harris b.1725 and grandmother Jane Hine again from Westbury, although I have found some birth, marriage and death certs, can anyone confirm what I am finding or am I of the beeton track!!! can any one go further back? I had wondered if the Harris's came from Scotland being as they were gypsies?

Kind regards

Val nee Harris
