William Matthews and Jessie Miller Harrison married Tynemouth q1 1868 vol 10b page 262.
Their son William born Tynemouth q4 1869 vol 10b page 555.
Found in 1871 census (RG10 / 5114 / 47 / 90) with Jessie's father Thomas and brother Robert staying with them.
Going forward to 1881 (RG11 / 5076 / 7 / 8) Jessie (wife, 35) plus children plus Thomas, now a widower.
Tracing the Harrisons backwards I've found them in 1861 (RG9 / 3841 / 54 / 24) but the enumerator seems to have been asleep.
Thomas (head) aged 42, master mariner
Thomas (wife!!!!) aged 17, boat builder
What looks like John M aged 15, son
I think this is Jessie, aged 15 (old fashioned double s). The enumerator had several goes!
Does the team agree with me about the 1861 census?
And can anyone find Thomas senior's wife? He is married with no wife present in 1871 (and 1861 if you ignore the enumerator).
