NOTE

Eliza was born c 1851 at Bishopsgate, Middlesex & died in 1900. Her father was Thomas Harrison. Alice, Ada, Florence, Walter, Harry, Albert & Eveline all died in infancy & Richard died aged 13 yrs. Annie marr. Herbert C. Dockrell & Clara died unmarried aged 35 yrs.

Thomas may have been living in Euphrasia, Grey (East/est), Ontario, Canada in the 1901 census, having emmigrated there in 1892.

I've no idea what happened to Richard as I couldn't find any death recorded in England & same goes for Richard Jr., Thomas & Fanny. Annie & Richard's bap. record can be seen here; Clara & Rosetta's here & Harry's here.

The family was living at 22 Morris Road, Bromley St Leonard, London in the 1881 census. Richard wasn't present. The family later was living at 43 Dale Road, West Ham, London in 1891. Again, Richard wasn't present. Richard, now a widow, is living with daus., Rose & Hilda at 118 Hermit Road, West Ham, London in 1901.

The 1911 census records Richard as an inmate at James Lane Leytonstone N E, Low Leyton, Essex.
