Searching for the death of Robert Harris born Clitheroe 1790 to a William and Margaret.
He joined the army in 1811 the 55th or westmorland regiment on foot and married a Jane McFadden in Carlisle and had a son William Harris 09 MAY 1813 Saint Mary, Carlisle, Cumberland, England.
He was discharged form the army in 1818.
can not find any record of his death or his wifes.
His son William married a Mary Grandige in Clitheroe in 1833.

Kind Regards
Roy Harris

Couldnt find him on any census.

Burial: 9 Dec 1832 St Mary Magdalene, Clitheroe, Lancashire, England
Robert Harris -
Age: 34
I did come across this but dont think it is the right one,because i have is discharge papers saying he was 23 when he was enlisted in 1811 and it says about 30 on discharge in 1818.

sorry - I think my brain needed its Sunday G&T. I managed to subtract 34 from 1832 & got 1788!!!

Lancashire Death indexes for the years: 1840

I think I have the maths right this time!
