Thank you so much your help with this it is very much appreciated I have had a quick
gander at the Clwyd FHS and think it will be worth joining for a year.
But I am going to put the cat amongst the pigeons, could there be a possibility of a
Johnathan and John as children in the same family?
The reason I am asking is I am not a over experienced researcher practically when it comes
to prior to the 1841 census, also I don't know this area.
I have the following information:
Jonathan Harrison Private of the Cardinganshire Militia married 1795 a Catherine Jones in
St Johns Chester
They had the following children:
Edward Harrison born Denbighshire 1797 aprox (shown on the 1851 census living with his
brother Jonathan in Snailbeach Shropshire occ Lead Miner
Jonathan Harrison born Pemrbrokeshire 1798 parents Johnathan Harrison Cardinganshire
Militia and Catherine Harrison (He is my direct ancestor). He was a Lead Miner who went
to the Isle of Man and Married his Wife Emma. He later moved and ran his own mine in
Snailbeach Shropshire and died 1876
From the information you have found and helped me with
George
baptised 1800 Minera parents Jonathan and Catherine Harrison nee Jones
John baptised 1804 Minera parents Jonathan and Catherine Harrison
Iscia baptised 1808 Minera parents Jonathan and Catherine Harrison
Thomas baptised 1810 Minera parents Jonathan and Catherine Harrison
Everything fits nicely that basically Jonathan left the militia and they returned to area
where Catherine was from. Minera with the lead mine fits in how Jonathan born 1798 became
a miner etc
The deaths, etc fit in for what age I have in my head for when they married and I have
found a baptism in the same church for Catherine that she married Jonathan in Chester in
1772
It's the Johnathan and John names as children? Which confuses me and concerns me, I
am trying to gain the information on Johnathan Harrison the father in the Cardinganshire
Militia to find out more about him to find out where he was recruited from etc and when
was he dismissed etc.
Thank you again in advance your help is very much appreciated and I apologise for putting
this confusion on to yourself
Thanks
Fiona
