Looking for my Great Uncle and Great Aunt, by the names of BRITTAN (or BRITAN) HARRIS, & MATILDA (nee MOORE). They are listed on the 1891 Census, as living on Silver Street, Calverton, Bucks. Three children are mentioned: HENRY, EMMA, and EDITH. The HARRIS Family appear to have been natives of Birmingham originally. And the unusual male Christian name appears twice in my searches. One would think it would be easy to trace due to this .... but - not so ! I'm anxious to find any grandchildren or great-grandchildren of BRITTAN & MATILDA. He seems to have been a leather-worker, or shoemaker - like his father before him. If you have stumbled across these names in your own searches, please do let me know, as I'm trying to unravel a mystery in the life of my mother, who was their niece. Thank you for your interest, time, and trouble. Yvonne Garry
