Hi all, I have completed the Broughton & Elslack Land Taxes. At this point there isn't any resolution as to who might be Jeremiah"s father, but never the less some interesting facts have emerged that are worth placing here. 1/ The records that I have are spread between 1782 and 1832 with a ...

Hi All and Wendy, Although "all is quiet on the Western Front" behind the lines there is at least perseverence under way! The Land Tax records are showing either one Jeremiah with two concurrent Farms or two Jeremiah's and two farms. Also George and Joseph also farming in Elslack and all t...

Wendy, all is forgiven, thank you!!! the Broughton Land Taxes might be perfect.. I hadn't realised that there is a vary large amount of them..(77) This means that I can actually produce a reasonable list of Broughton and Elslack Harrison farmers and reconcile them against some other records and poss...

Stanly,

had that conversation on the way home in the car!

Vertebrae intact, the previously unknown lump on his Thyroid that exploded on impact is another matter..!

Oh Dear!

Hi Wendy, et al, Ahh! Looks like I took my eye off the ball..! LOL Tithe Map and Tithe register. I get the distinction now and will undertake some further dabbling on Ancestry. When I return home i"ll blow the images up and take a better look. They do look great in a 2" screen so I'm assum...

G'day Christian, Regarding your find of a "Carleton Tithe map" with Jeremiah listed as owning a field. I would love to see this image or file please. Wendy has referenced these documents previously, I had a poke around, got lost, got confused, got unhappy and lost the plot...I gave myself ...

Well, thanks Wendy, really interesting for all us Harro's here to read about Frankie, Will and Joseph Cowgill working together and converting the old Corn Mill into a Cotton Mill and the eventual collapse of the business and the subsequent fire... Really interesting news. As for the Broughton All Sa...

G'day Wendy, Yep! I can understand that some might get lost if they were made of Timber. Headstones are of rock or concrete, heavy and difficult to move. The Harrison's were one of the largest families that inhabited this grave yard. For example, Mary Harrison died before Jeremiah, they had several ...

Thanks Wendy and Stan for the hand......."Dupruytren's Contracture" is good if you need to clear something from the corner of your eye, not so good if you run your hand through your hair.. :extrawink: Wendy, thanks for the TInC Spreadsheet offer, I have the XLS file from EFHS.. and very us...

Hi Again, Another PM question that is relevant to this family, and its identification - albeit on the edges. This time it's about Dupuytren's Disease, an issue that arose in a previous post by me regarding one of the distinguishing features of a Harrison (in my family) that might show a relationship...

G'day again! One of my Harrison Rellies from the UK but not local has asked a question via PM that I think should be discussed here because its quite relevant to the discussion: His question: Q1:/ "You have William Harrison m to Martha Nutter BY LICENCE in 1732-3 What does BY LICENCE mean? Coul...

Plaques, The business of "being out of ones depth" is a feeling I have every single day, there is a lot more kicking required when you're in too deep and that's where I could be with all this Jeremiah business (drowning).. LOL! Yep! I was mucking around at that exact same place yesterday. ...

G'day Roger, welcome to the debate. and thanks for your comments, Yes! the question remains as to which Jeremiah to go with? There are sensible and probable reasons to go with the Francis/Jeremiah direction given that there are repeats of family names such as Francis downstream of Francis Snr and Je...

Hi all, The documents that follow are the product of a paid inquiry undertaken in 1911 by Harry Speight for a Mr Smith of Bingley who wished to ascertain some details of Jane Dean and her Marriage to William Harrison B-1771 the son of Jeremiah Harrison B-1740. I have had these documents for many yea...

While there is so much discussion on these Broughton records or lack off, I just saw this list of holdings and it probably says it all pretty clearly, (Note the IGI start in 1741) Broughton Records Deposited Registers (North Yorkshire County Record Office) • Baptisms: 1671-1703, 1707-1710, 1740-1939...

Stan, that could be right,? it could have been a researcher, but, the removal of the pages would have occurred before the original registers were given to the Parliament, as described in Thomas Dunham Whitaker's Book (The History and Antiquities of the Deanery of Craven in the County of York. Public...

Hi all, i've been away reading anything that I could lay my hands on that referred to the general Craven area prior to 1800's without any luck. I've been looking at Land Taxes as Wendy suggested and old Wills and Administrations as Bob has suggested and nothing is looking like it might help at this ...

Chris and Bob, regarding the issue of marrying a young girl. My William Harrison son of Henry (B-1825 Huddersfield) of Cowling who came to Australia in (c) 1850 and married Margaret Cameron (B-1826 Inverness Scotland) of Ewen Cameron of Mt Sturgeon Vic Australia and previously Inverness Scotland. Ma...

I was reading through the lists of Harrison Wills in the UK after engrossing numerous Wills that I hold without too much success! I came across this entry: "July 1740 Harrison ,_ "Harrison als (also) Chapman late wife of Francis Chapman of Broughton Ad" I'm guessing this is Mary Chapm...

Hi Wendy, That sounds like a great idea, thank you! The West Martin Dairy milk run in the 50"s and 60's might also ring a bell and the general haulage trucking business Jack continued to run after the ending of the Dairy Contract, might also help to identify the family. I guess its 60 years ago...

Chris, yep! you were right, generic, buried within Broughton Specific info, I should have been more careful..... Ok! one all now..... :extrawink: Stanley, Wendy, On John of Skipton, on the contrary, I thought he had "factor H genes" hands and ears showed signs of matching, AND he is a &quo...

G'day Chris,

Haha! That will teach me, I was thinking that William might have been the person who buried the Mary and child statue in the All Saints back yard (now reinstated) wasn't that text Broughton All Saints specific?

I'll stop drawing long bows about the Harro's. LOL.

Cheers

Ian

Morning Wendy, Stanley, Et all, Sorry Wendy I took off on a "All Saints Churchwarden" tangent! I've spoken to John of Skipton (FB user) and he isn't the John of Billy Harrison, Albeit he believes he has family at All Saints Broughton. So he is onto that mystery. So the search for John of B...

Hi, just another short grab at Whitaker's Craven. The Harrison's at Broughton Church and how they were operating (Church Wardens) in 1577... HISTORY OF CRAVEN. 83 he steeple is cočval with this enlargement. The South door has a circular but unadorned Norman arch ; and the arch between the nave and c...

Hi All, Stanley, Christine, Bob and Chris “Stanley” I’m still reading your recent Forum articles on Elslack and Broughton extracted from Whitaker and I will report back here with any relevant info. Thank you for the picture of young John now in his 60’s I guess? And a pity we don’t have a picture of...
