William Charles Harrison, also my Great Grandfather, was known by us as a 'black sheep' of the family. His daughter, my Grandmother, remembers being taken to visit her grandmother in a big house with servants, but her home was not like that. I remember being told that he had married my great grandmother's sister first, then my great grandmother. There was a bit of scandal. She took on her sisters son, [I think] She wanted her firstborn to be born in America -so they went there for the birth, where he was given a name which they changed when they returned to England. [Can't remember the details, sorry]. I never met him - he died before I was born, I think, but I did meet my great grandmother, Bridina Carol. I have a photo of her too, somewhere. She died when I was 9. She lived just a few doors away from my grandmother at that time, and I would often visit. [just found the photo and added it. She is pictured with her daughter, grand daughter, and me.
