Ah, I see. The marriage info has the notation @ beside it.
@ indicates that the date give for a marriage is derived from the date of the first identified birth of a child to the two people and therefore may not be accurate. In such cases the place is derived in the same way and may not be accurate.
Clever of them to derive a marriage date *after* the child's birth.

There's a submitted (unsubstantiated) record in the IGI that says this:
http://www.familysearch.org/eng/search/igi/search_igi.asp
John Harris
Birth: 1854 Wesrbromwich, , Stafford, England
Spouse: Emma Reece
Marriage: About 1876 West Bromwich, Stafford, England
That should be findable in the GRO, if it's true ...
http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl
but there doesn't seem to be such a marriage there.
This looks like the couple in question, in the 1881 in West Bromwich - no Samuel:
John Thos. Harris 27
Emma Harris 25
Wm. Henry Harris 4
John Thos. Harris 2

I have got the names of samuels parents from tas site and they are
John harris and emma maria reese but am unable to find a marriage for them prior to his birth.
They were not convicts as there is no record of them being so and samuels was a military birth and in fact he was in the
Royal Irish himself.
I have found and obtained his marriage cert in the punjab in 1905 but it does not give his fathers occupation,just that he was deceased.
Other than that I have only this
His death in 1962 and,

His children were born in kilkenny while he was stationed there so he is not on the 1911 england census and is not on the irish one either.
Any help to find anything on him other than this ,especially his parents marriage, would be wonderful.
