Hi, I am trying to find decendants of Benjamin Harris who was born in Ballydehob, Cork, Ireland on 05/02/1828 and died in Millom, England on 20/11/1878. He married Agnes (aka Alice) Mitchell from Cork, Ireland. His father was Timmothy Harris and I know nothing else about him. Ben and his wife seemed to have interests in both Cork and Yorkshire, England deduced from the fact that his 13 children were variously born in Ireland, then some in England and more in Ireland, etc. I will add the list of his children later. Benjamin is my Great Great Grandfather on my mother's side. Looking forward to hearing from anyone connected to this family wether it be from descendants of his children or decendants of any siblings he may have had. Here are his 13 Children:- 1- William b. 09/05/1850 in England d. 03/01/1915 in Australia. Had a large family, no other information 2- Mary Jane Harris b. 01/12/1854 England d. Millom, England. Married Thomas Birkett 3- John Harris b. 20/06/1856, England d. 26/12/1923, England Was a Lay Preacher and lived in the Newcastle on Tyne district. 4- Elizabeth Harris b. 20/02/1858, England d. 21/02/1900, England 5- Helena Harris b. 20/01/1860, Ballydehob, Cork, Ireland d. 07/01/1936, North Lonsdale Hospital, England m. John Pickering 6- Thomas Harris b. 13/07/1863, England 7-Emily Harris b. 03/06/1865, England d. 24/04/1921 8- Ellen Harris b.
