Would like any info on Robert Harris probably born in County Durham around Ferryhill or Spennymoor.
He married my grandmother Eliza Clark ( nee Bott) after she was widowed. I know she was married to John William Clark and her children were his but by the time I was born in 1951 she was known as Harris and I think again widowed

You will have to purchase it through GRO unless someone in the family has it

Barbara Report 2 May 2010 17:18

After thinking about it I have decided he is the one who has the father Frederick as from info I have he would have been born in 1877 not 1875.
If anyone can find his parents and siblings or a first marraige I would be grateful
Regards to all

There are too many Robert Harris's to pin point the right marriage
