Hi Scallywags,

1154/1862 HARRIS TERESA M JOHN MARY SYDNEY

Teresa M. HARRIS was born on 29 June 1862. I would think that she was born in the Benevolent Asylum, as per the records below. Mary HARRIS went to the asylum, about 1 month before baby, Teresa, was born.

Hi Scallywags,

I think this is the death of the mother of Mary Ann and Margaret (and possibly Catherine) HARRIS, on 27.08.1890.

From the Ancestry Record, it states: Two daughters in Service named Mary and Margaret.
Also information about her arrival, and her husband, and her aliases (McNAMARA and WILLIAMS).

Hi Scallywaggles,

I tried to find Mary McNamara, with a marriage to HARRIS.

Only one came up in the correct time frame, and also a daughter, born to the couple named Catherine HARRIS, in 1857.

Name:Mary Ann Macnamara
Spouse Name: Antonio Harris
Marriage Date: 1856
Marriage Place: New South Wales
Registration Place: Sydney, New South Wales
Registration Year: 1856
Registration Number: 281


1721/1857 V18571721 142A HARRIS CATHERINE ANTONIA MARY

Maybe, two deaths to this couple???

325/1861 HARRIS ROSEANNA ANTONY MARY A SYDNEY
1068/1868 HARRIS ELIZABETH ANTONY MARY SYDNEY

Death of Antonio HARRIS, in December 1872:

6126/1873 HARRIS ANTONIO AGE 58 YEARS DIED PARRAMATTA PARRAMATTA

On the Asylum record for Mary Ann HARRIS, it stated that her late husband was a seaman. There are a lot of entries for Antonio HARRIS, arriving in Australia, as a seaman, on Ancestry.
Maybe, he just used the name of John, rather than Antonio.
Most of his seaman entries, show that he was from the Indies; (Origin: Cape De Vew , Origin: West Indies, Origin: Cape and Verde).

From NSW State Records, Index to Unassisted Arrivals:

Hi Scallywaggles,

Re... "I have Catherine's marriage certificate and both she and Margaret's death certificates."

Since this post, have you purchased Margaret HARRIS's marriage certificate to Edward TRANQUILL?

Name: Margaret Harris
Spouse: Edward Tranouill
Marriage: 1890 - Sydney, New South Wales

If so, who were the witnesses?
Who were her parents?
What was her place of birth and age?

Hi Scallywags,

I would love to hear what you have found. Do you have copies of Catherine and Margaret Harris' birth certificates? I can't trace them back properly. Yes Patsy is my grandmother.

Hi Mary

Margaret Harris and Edward Tranquill married in St Patricks Church Sydney on 29 January 1890. Margaret's parents are recorded as John Harris and Mary Ann Cotton. John Harris' occupation is cook.
Her birthplace is Sydney and she was 24 years old. Witnesses were Maurits French and William J Brown.

Hi Michelle,

We don't have copies of their birth certificates and don't know if they were even registered. Their death certificates both state their birthplace as Sydney. But on these certificates and their marriage certificates, some info doesn't match. Especially with Margaret Harris' husband Edward Tranquill. The records are only as good as the record keeper, so having information directly from family is very important. Although some of us look aboriginal, Catherine always said she was Maori and Irish. Patsy's brother Arthur married Beverley who had aboriginal heritage, but the Meizers are Maori/Irish and German. As far as we know!

You could purchase the 1873 death certificate of Antonio HARRIS, and see what children are listed. That would rule him in, or rule him out.
