HARRIS posted by Chris Erswell on Saturday, June 19, 1999

I am in Manchester, UK researching my family tree. I recently found out that a distant relative of mine in England had the marriage certificate of my great grandparents, Emma Louisa Harris and George Harry Erswell. The parents of Emma Louisa are listed as Abraham Harris and Ann Harris (the maiden name is not mentioned). It is recorded that Emma Louisa was then aged 21 and born in Cape Breton. Abraham's occupation was recorded as "fisherman", presumeably of Cape Breton also. The date of the marriage was 28th Nov 1978 in a Methodist church, 71 Granville Street, Halifax, Nova Scotia. I would be grateful for any other information relating to the parents of Abraham Harris.
