Hello Ian and welcome to the Community boards. :-)






I'll send Ian a message to let him know he has replies. :-)

Thanks Christina I missed the address, so I guess that is the right person. Wonder where the Arthur came from, both census show him as James and his father as James as well.

The 1871 census that Flip has posted above is for 9. Ellis's Square.

9 Ellis's Square is where Arthur James was living when he married Elizabeth King in 1873.

If this is right, I can't spot Amelia in 1861, but she re-married:

Amelia Harrison
Spouse Name: William Nicholson Parker
Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 3 Feb 1873
Parish: Walworth St John the Evangelist
Borough: Southwark
Father Name: James Startin
Spouse Father Name: William Parker

I can't spot a marriage for Amelia Startin to Harrison though.

A tree on ancestry is showing his mother as Amelia Harrison and this census:

James Harrison
Age: 28
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1843
Relation: Son
Mother's Name: Ammeli Harrison
Gender: Male
Where born: Surrey, England

Page Number: 40
Household Members: Name Age
Ammeli Harrison 39
James Harrison 28 (born Surrey, a porter, and age is 20 on image)
George Cramp 35 (boarder, a waiter)

There is conflicting info on birth place, in 1891 it's Lambeth and 1901 Newington. There's no sign of a christening for him, that I can see, nor is there a birth reg for his full name (although not compulsory at that time).

I wonder if the father really existed, and whether his birth name was actually Arthur James or just plain Arthur.

2nd marriage, he is a widower:

Arthur James Harrison
Age: Full Age
Spouse Name: Mary Ann Bird
Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 21 Apr 1878
Parish: Walworth St John the Evangelist
Borough: Southwark
Father Name: Arthur James Harrison
Spouse Father Name: Harry Bird
Register Type: Parish Register

I think the occupation is cellarman.

This marriage??

Arthur James Harrison

Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 30 Nov 1873
Parish: Walworth St John the Evangelist
Borough: Southwark
Father Name: Arthur James Harrison (deceased)

I can't make out his occupation though.

When did he marry?

where did you get the information on his age and birthplace from?

How accurate is it??

It would be appreciated if anyone could assist in finding Arthur James Harrison born circa 1850, birth place Walworth,Surrey,England. I cannot find him in the Census from 1871,1861,1851,1841.
I as far as I am Aware the Family stayed in the area. I would like to search records of where he went to school say in 1860, I am assuming that somewhere there would be a record of his Father and Mother and where they lived at the time of his Registration at aschool. His marriage certificate states his Father as Arthur James Harrison, deceased. Therefore a dead end. My cousins parents and mine have all passed on, so no elderely relative alive to help us. :-)
