In Response To: Harris Family Isle of Man ()

Hi Max

Do you have details of Elizabeth Harris’s parents’ names and birth years/places ? In 1851, an Elizabeth Harris age 7 at Barkla Shop, St Agnes, has father William 38, mother Mary 34 and sister Mary J 11, all b St Agnes. If this is the right family, Lawson’s burial index doesn’t have a suitable entry for a William Harris. There is this one for a Mary Harris:

HARRIS, Mary 49 Braddan 25 Feb 1866

The IGI has an image for this burial listed under Maria Harris, written in Latin.

There’s no Mary Harris of a suitable age on the island at census time in 1861.
