Shame @Wendy about the Exeter company business - I thought there might have been a local connection due to the name so had a quick look at the company directors - seems it's a name connection only as in surnames! I have a photo of young John with dad Billy - it says 69 on it but John was born in 195...

Thank you to Wendy (also for your help back in 2014), Stanley, Ian etc. On the DNA front the match my Harrison husband had was an autosomal but very soon we should his Ydna results...'being processed'....as they say. Re ownership of Smearber I was in contact with a very helpful man at Davis-Bowring....

Hi folks, Ian at HarroOz and I are trying to find the true father of our Jeremiah Harrison, a farmer, born 1741 and who died at Smearber Farmhouse on 26 Dec 1830. (Parish records). I think Jeremiah could have been baptised on either of two dates to either of two fathers below: 1) 9 Jan 1741 • Elslac...

Lin - don't know if you got my email so here is what I put: Richard's parents were Jeremiah H & Martha Lund then back to Jeremiah H & Mary Clark then back to Francis Harrison & Mary Greenwood then back to Rogerus H & Susan Jennings then back to Thomae H & Alice Tippin then back t...

Thank you so much for that info - and the photo. On another note do you know where this refers to? '...of Joseph Harrison for his present dwelling - House adjoining the east end of the turnpike...1776' This is from the Broughton Estate archives - I took photos when we saw them up in the Tempests' at...

Thanks Stanley - I've managed to sort it out a bit. Never heard about the albino business before! Can't find when Jack died or if he had children. Smearber seems to be in the name of Persson now. Definitely came down through many generations of Harrisons anyway linked to my husband's family.

Hi Lin, I have seen your tree on there. Mine is Harrison Powell Thompson Deakin-White. Send me a request to view and I'll open it for you. Bear in mind that I'm still adding and correcting due to all my new info though. Have to say it is worth joining the Earby History Society - invaluable info ther...

Hi Wendy and thanks - having great fun with your records. We took grave photos when we were there years ago - unsure if they were ours at the time - have matched them up now and most are ours. (all bar one) so with all the info I have I have been very successful - altho I deleted somebody in error l...

Hi Linda
I have your Harrison's! I have just recently acquired Parish registers that have enabled me to dig deeper and confirm what I already had. Still working on it in fact. Are you a member of Ancestry? If so you could see the tree for yourself. Best regards, Christine Harrison (married name).
