Frances Report 4 Sep 2011 21:11

From the 1911 census I have the 1901 family as George Herbert Harris 1866
Elizabeth 1893
Frederick William 1897
James 1899

but no mother.
George Herbert's marriage seems to be

Marriages Mar 1892
HARRIS George Herbert Swansea
11a 997

EVANS Elizabeth Swansea
11a 997

Spiller Charlotte Swansea
11a 997

Does the 1901 census determine whether he married Elizabeth or Charlotte please?

Many thanks,
Frances

Thank you all for your finds. I had no idea they were in Liverpool in 1901!
My quest on this family can start in earnest with all the places of birth to check.

Frances Report 5 Sep 2011 12:11

With all the help I was given yesterday I have pieced together some info on Elizabeth Harris and I am looking for her in 1881 to discover her family, without success!

From jansmith 1901

Name: Elizabeth Harris
Age: 34
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1867
Relation: Wife
Spouse's Name: George Herb Harris
Gender: Female
Where born: Whitland, Carmarthenshire, Wales

then
Marriages Mar 1892
HARRIS George Herbert Swansea
11a 997

EVANS Elizabeth Swansea
11a 997

possibly
Births Mar 1867
Evans Elizabeth Carmarthen
11a 681

and EDIT
1871
Evans Elizabeth 1867 Carmarthenshire Carmarthen, St Clear

The marriage I am sure about as her last child is
Births Jun 1909
Harris David Evans Walter Bradford
9b 57

As the G.R. single line 1871 does not give place of birth I am basing I have the correct Elizabeth on St Clear being just down the road from Whitland.

Does the above provide sufficient for some sharp eyed person to find her family please?

Many thanks,
Frances

Thanks Ann but perhaps my post was misleading as I copied one bit of info twice. I intended to add what I think could be Elizabeth Evans in the 1871

Evans Elizabeth 1867 Carmarthenshire Carmarthen, St Clear

but I cannot see her in 1881.

jansmith

jansmith Report 5 Sep 2011 13:51

I think you may need to get the marriage cert and hopefully confirm her fathers name

Frances

Frances Report 5 Sep 2011 13:57

Hi jansmith, I am doing this research for a friend of a friend and understand that we have already used up the current certificate allowance!

Is there any chance that an expanded 1871 census for Elizabeth at St Clear could match her 1901 birth place of Whitland, that you found?

jansmith

jansmith Report 5 Sep 2011 14:14

I am not sure which site you found her on in 1871 census but i cannot find one on Ancestry in 1871 at St Clear
edit is this the one you found?

Relation: Daughter
Father's Name: Evan Evans
Mother's Name: Sarah Evans

Where born: Llangunnock, Carmarthenshire, Wales

Hanah Harries *12 Daughter of Evan and Sarah* i think this might be age 2 on the image

not sure that this will confirm you have the right one?

Frances Report 5 Sep 2011 14:47

Thanks for that jansmith and I have to agree with you, with so many llan.... around it is not going to be easy. Why could she just not stick with Whitland, which I was able to find on the map.

Whitland and St Clear are practically next door to each other
