Hi Lauriemac,



As far as I am aware, the 1911 census is the latest one to become available. I have access to that one.

Hi All



Thank you for all the information, that is great, Starlight I think the region is Quebec, is it possible to copy then census for both families so I can see more information about them, sorry to be a pain. any help is very much appreciated.



Lauriemac

Hi Lauriemac,



I am sorry, neither family is showing up on either the 1901 or 1911 census.

Hi Starlight, thanks for checking, I will have to be content with what I have for now, but I will eventually find a way.



Thanks

Hi Carmela



That is great, thank you very much. what a pity the families originated in ireland, not the easiest place to research but you can't have it easy all the time.



thanks again

Hi again,

Just could not leave it alone. I have now found the Harrisons in 1901!

Bridget was then a widow and the census enumerator decided to add an extra "s" in Harrison. Margaret is Marguerite. No wonder I could not find them yesterday.

It seems that they emigrated to Canada in 1887 and the first two children were born in England. Bridget was also born in England, but gives Irish as her ethnic origin. I checked for Andrew's death and it looks like he died in 1898, but I only have access to an index, so no details. Bridget died in 1931. I love Quebec records they always give women's maiden names, even in burial records. It may be hard to find anything more about Andrew

since we don't even have a probable dob for him. Too bad, as he is probably the only one of this lot who is not Irish.

I may be able to find more at the library, but that must wait until I have time.
