I've got
Robert Clemmett/Clemmitt born 1837 Knayton, Yorkshire, birth registered as Clement.
Married as Robert Harrison Clemett 1859 to Mary Jane Smith, Durham
1861 East Hetton, Coxhoe, Durham
Cuthbert Smith Head
Elizabeth Smith Wife
Jane Harrison Dau married 20, soldiers wife
1871 East Hetton, Coxhoe, Durham
Elizabeth Smith Head
Jane Smith Dau unmarried 29
1873 Mary Jane Harrison, widow marries Robert Wilson
Can anyone advise where to go with this, a record of his death &/or his service.
Story passed down the family was that my 2 x great grandfather John was a deserter in a war & he changed his name. That much is true as he was born a Clemmett/Clemmitt & became a Harrison, no evidence of being in a war though. John was the above Robert's brother, on one census their parents are listed as Harrison
Thanks for reading
