Back on the Harry's......

[bonniebuster196]

Elusive Edwin Harry son of Thomas Harry & Elizabeth Edwards born June 1840 in Lelant. He is on both 1841 & 51 census then disappears, reappears in 1876 marrying a Grace Harry who I know nothing about. They
then turns up in Northcote, Victoria, Australia where a number of his siblings were living to die in 1998. I have found the marriage index for a Grace & Edwin marrying in Penzance, and Edwin's will leaves everything to wife Grace.

I Would like to know a bit more about Grace & where she came from & where was he for 20yrs I have checked that he was not residing with his remaining siblings........

TIA

Grace was the daughter of James Harry and Jane Brush, in other words Edwin's first cousin.

Edwin's death cert from memory says that he married in St Ives. However I have not seen the marriage cert for myself. St Ives though was in the Penzance civil registration district.
Where Edwin was between 1851 and 1876 I cannot say. Have you checked census records to see if he was elsewhere in the UK in the 1861 & 1871 censuses? There would not be too many with that name and with a birthplace of Lelant.

Thanks for that, can i ask where you found evidence that they are her parents? I also have not found their passage to Australia either. I will keep looking.

Thanks for your input

When Grace remarried, after Edwin's death, her marriage certificate names her parents.
