Brenda, don't try to type in that address, cut & paste it.
To do so, click on the mouse and run it over the address, it will highlight the address in blue. Now click control and c. That will hold the address. Go to the address bar at the top of the screen where it has the Genes address. Click on that and it will be highlighted in blue. Now click control and v. The new address will appear there. Click enter and you should be at the new site.

Hi PaulaW,
Thankyou for your message.
Yes, I have tried that and it just comes up with "does not match any documents".
Obviously I must be doing something wrong - probably because I've been staring at the screen all evening and my eyes are tired!!
Do I need to input ALL that info ...???
Night night, Brenda !

Brenda have you "cut and pasted" the website just tried it no problem

Hi Alviegal,
Thanks for that - have very carefully copied down the info you have given and have tried to Google it - but have had no luck! Am I doing something wrong do you think?

Go to this link Brenda, you will find information on it.

Hi Andrew and Michael,
Many thanks for putting time to my query - what you have uncovered is most helpful - absolutely brilliant in fact as the surname Harris isn't exactly the easiest to be researching ... !!!!
Thank you both very much indeed.

Herbert Temple HARRIS was born c1875 in the Marazion, Penzance, Cornwall area.
His father was Robert Osborn[e] Harris and his mother Elizabeth Ann Hunkin.
Did Herbert marry a lady possibly called Annie ...???
When did he marry?
Did they have any children?
My late mother vaguely remembered they possibly had a daughter called Nellie, another called Mabel, possibly a Vera, and maybe a daughter called Myrtle.
Some help to fill in these gaps would be much appreciated.
Thankyou.
