This is good FS...so do you think that we could add James and Mary as Parents and that as his family in 1841
I think it looks good

I think that the James on already is the same as this one with mother Lucy edge
but how can we find out?

adding this with Sukis notes

Ezra Harris 24/1/1813 parents James and Mary, Yew Tree RR father occ gun smith

I checked the bapts for Ruth and Mary at the Independant Church Halesowen
some transcribing errors on IGI should say January not June
and the vicar put Gosty think it is Gorsty

Ruth ---
Independant Church at Halesowen
Ruth- dau of Ezra and Alice Harris - born 1st Sept 1835 Gosty Hill- Bapt- 1st January 1836

Mary.....
Independant Church at Halesowen
dau of Ezra and Alice Harris - born 26 April 1833 Gosty Hill Bapt 16 May 1833

Did this Mary Die?
she isnt on the census in 1841

wonder if Ruth is named after Alices mother

so wonder if a Ruth ? married an ? Edge

that might help find that ? edges father maybe brother to Lucy Edge

Edge or Hedge

If that is them on the census and it looks good then he (james) is born 1778-1781
and the other james Harris is b 1796 halesowen

so must be different ones...?

OK, I'll add them from the 41 census etc.. and leave Lucy's lot

FS what do you think to adding that 1841 I think it looks good for area Gorsty hill names etc

do you fancy adding it?

dont want to waste all that info you have posted on the census in 1841 and 1851

only if you got time

So unless otherwise etc etc...24 hrs
