Hello, I am researching my family history and I am seeking information on my G/G/G/Father JOSEPH HARRISON.
He was born in 1810 and lived in Whitby, N/Yorks.
He was a Master Mariner and he married JANE ANDREW of Cliff Lane, Whitby. They had two sons JOHN ANDREW HARRISON b: 1845 and JOSEPH b: 1847.
JOSEPH Snr. died ? sometime bewteen 1847 and 1851, as JANE was listed as widow in the 1851 Census.

Researching:
Harrison Whitby North Yorks LYTHE AND eGTON York
