Hi, I'm researching Alfred Edward Harrison b.Birmingham 1875, wife Eliza. I don't have access to any censuses, could anyone look up and find this family for me as far back as possible. I do know in 1911 they lived in Bedwelty Wales. |

I think you might need a marriage cert. There are several possibles on census reports so impossible to find him without a bit more info. There seem to be 2 born Aston 1875! |

1901 perhaps? Supposition based on eldest child's birthplace |

Thanks Jan for your help. I am helping a friend with this. Will get her to order a certificate. |

Flick, Thanks for that. Farnborough sounds as if he could have been in the RAF |

Thanks Jan. Looks as if they met while he was in Farnbrough. |

The RAF didn't exist in 1901. Royal Flying Corps formed 1914? |

Let us know what the marriage cert tells you. Remember they married in West Bromwich so unlikely they met in Farnborough, even if that is your Alfred (I wonder what Eliza was doing there!). |

Farnborough at the time was an infantry barracks. |

Looking through my friends paperwork, Alfred Edward H. died in 1913, a fall at work, age 38!!! With a new baby by the looks of it. Edmundstown LLantrisant S.Wales. Shame. |

Christine, apart from the location of Farnborough there is no evidence that this is your relative in 1901, though he might be. There are several other possibilities including a couple of Alfred E. Harrisons in Birmingham on census reports. I can't see one where the occupation resembles that in 1911. . You need to hold off till you get his marriage cert. |
