Hi Scallywag,
Re, these comments....
“It is regarding Catherine's parents who we have always believed were called John Harris and Mary Ann Cotton.”
AND
“The info we have comes from what she passed on to her children - parents James Harris and Mary Ann Cotton, who died when Catherine and her sister Margaret were young”
James HARRIS, or John HARRIS, as the father of Catherine HARRIS????
“I do have their marriage certificate. She was given permission to marry by her guardian/employer, Mrs Martell, as she was an orphan. I have Catherine's marriage certificate and both she and Margaret's death certificates.”
Are Catherine and Margaret's parents names listed, on any of these certificates?
If not, where did you get the names of HARRIS/COTTON from, as their parents?
Mary
