Thomas HARRISON

[DaveHam9]

What was I looking for?

Birth of Thomas abt 1844 and marriage of Matthew to Mary A.

No Thomas in 1851 census with those parents ??

No Mathew/Matthew Harrison on Assisted to NSW. Not on the Bounty list either.

 

[DaveHam9]

Suddenly got a bit harder.

I can't find a Matthew Harrison who fits in 1841 census. Lots are shown as born in counties other than Middlesex.

 

[gibbo]

I've been looking at passenger lists and got no where as yet.

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks gibbo.

No birth in NSW index for Thomas. If he was born in England then lots of possible births and Matthew then should be in 1841 census married or not.

 

[DaveHam9]

1874
Jury : Mr. Matthew Harrison, of Newtown Road, Newtown ...

Can't confirm anything earlier.

 

[DaveHam9]

We have a birth for Samuel D Hancox but no arrival on Assisted to NSW.

I can't find him in 1851.

Nothing on Assisted or Unassisted to Vic. for Matthew Harrison or Samuel Hancox.

Nothing that helps.

Rookwood very slow.

S Hancox Date of Burial: 30 Jun 1897 Age: 54 Plot: Old Ground_Zone A/#/325

First ref in Trove is 1862.

I'm stuck.

I can't find the Hancox - Harrison marriage.

Or the Matthew Harrison to Mary A.

[DaveHam9]

Thanks gibbo.

I found nothing for the 1893 one. Also found no remarriage.


Can't find any births with parents Matthew & Mary A.

 

[gibbo]

Matthew and Mary A appear to have had only one kid, Thomas, unless something else can be found. Thomas was also the only one mentioned in any of their will / probate notices along with Samuel Hancox.

 

[DaveHam9]

Only son or only surviving son.

If 1844 and if Vol 1 then only one.

No Harrison births in Vic. or SA that fit.

Not sure about a marriage in NSW for Emma.

I can't confirm Hammond is correct.
