Not seeing a male Harrison born Eccles with a father Thomas a Blacksmith on the census records.

If you wish help can you tell us

Your Grandfather's name?

When, where and to whom he married please?

How do you KNOW his father was born in 1835? Do you have documents to back that up?

Have you found your grandfather's birth registration?
