Thank you on Delaine (wool). I was aware that my posts would be deleted after 7 days and that they were being moved. Perhaps my one just now today about the trail for Phili could be moved to be permanent. It might help future Harrison researchers get on the right trail. Thank you also on the apprent...

Hi, You all, I think I am on the right trail. With thank yous to another Harrison family (CS and I) were great, I wave goodbye to follow the Harrisons of Swinden. I had asked this forum whether my Philip (born about 1772 and of Swinden--North of Skipton--and of Gisburn Cemetery) was perhaps the son ...

Photo? I would love one photo of cotton weaving, particularly. In 1851 William Harrison was a power loom weaver of cotton. Could your photo be in the public domain? Or might I obtain the permission of the photographer? For images, I have to comply with laws in Britain, the EU, and the United States....

You can count on me to impose on good will, Stanley. Thank you, Plaques, for this good information on mills and maps. I have recently finished writing a book about my Harrison family called Trades and Professions of the Harrison Family. The three-volume book is about the many descendants of John Har...

Hi, you all, How are you? My relatives[?] were Delainer hand loom weavers, having a son who in 1851 was a cotton powerloom weaver. I have read on this website that of the people who became powerloom weavers some had left handweaving and those people tended to be cotton weavers, leaving the last to c...

Thank you, PanBiker and Plaques. I have a better feel for the place. Pennines, spine of England, all the way up to Scotland. By 1861 William Harrison was married to Nancy Demaine and lived at Monk House Cottage, Barnoldswick. He was a cotton weaver. New questions: (1) In 1861, where might William Ha...

Hi, again, all. You have been so helpful. Phillip Harrison junior and senior I am interested in the Phillip Harrison family of Swinden. Phillip Harrison was born about 1807 at Swinden, near Gisburn, was a butcher of Skipton, married Martha of Broughton; their children were born at Elslack, Parish of...

Thank you to Stanley for getting me on this site, despite my beginner's knowledge of the local hills. And Wendy and Stanley gave Ighten (back in 2018) such good answers to his question about his ancestor Phillip Harrison. It is that thread that brought me to your site. I have read All Creatures Grea...

Hi, You, How are you? I have never done well with the introduce yourself question. I have been interested in genealogy since age ten, and particularly these last 13 years in my Harrison family. This past week we have finally made it "back" to England. My relatives and I have been looking f...
