Trying to find Harrison

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Trying to find details of the death of my g-great grandmother, Rebecca Harrison nee Plummer. Rbecca was married to my g-great grandfather, John ? Harrison at All Saints Church Gainsborough, Lincolnshire. John was down as a waterman at the time. Can't find any details of Rebecca's death anywhere, and don't know exactly how many children of the marriage there were, but my great grandfather, Edward Plummer Harrison was one of them, born around 1853/4. We do know that Edward Plummer had a sister, Eliza, but not sure of any more.Rebecca was born in Gainsborough, but John could have been born in Leeds, not sure of that either. Edward Plummer Harrison moved to Tyneside, then emigrated to South Africa around 1900, and died there in 1924. Any help would be appreciated.
