Harrison,s B,ham

Hi again kmt123 ( & Any "Harrison" researchers :) )
Thanks for your response, no ideas Yet on my (Wifes) Harrison origins,
have recently researched other Family lines & now turning attention to delve deeper into this Maternal line linkage, There is a possibility of "Canal-Boat" wharfage/carrier links due to their proximity to residences
near the B,ham Canal(s) Central/Deritend-Small Heath-Aston areas but this will be resolved after further researching (Hopefully, lol :D )
Basically starting from Marriage certificate Amelia Gertrude Harrison age 19
married Henry McGann 23rd Dec 1906 St John,s Church, Sparkhill (Worcs-at that time) Residence at 7 Mountford Street, Her Father deceased/cert
Thomas Harrison a Brass Dresser, Witness,s H Harrison (brother/prob) & a Gertrude Harrison (prob Mother),, all so far, Now starting research Ok.
Next "Harrison" info is WW2 B,ham Bombing , cont,,, Regards John Y

Hello, my surname is Harrison and the family are from the Aston / Duddeston area. Not sure about the canal connections but we definately had relatives in WW2. To be honest my Dad is the keen historian and I know he has traced back the Harrison side of the family to a certain extent. I wish he could use a PC because he'd love this site...I can always ask him questions on your behalf? Let me know.
