FREDERICK JOHN HARRIS - BORN 1884/5 CORNWALL/DEVON
I am doing family tree research. Harris/Matthews/Mathews/Bowden/Bawden families from Cornwall.
My dads father was Frederick John harris Born in Cornwall 1885 + - am battling to trace info.
He came to S.A 1909+-.
Frederick Harris Married Ada Matthews in the September, 1910 Redruth, Cambourne area in Cornwall.I have established that Frederick John Harris's Father's name was Frederick John Harris as well and lived in Pool and worked on the mines. Witnesses at the Marriage were William Charles Richards and Eliza Jane Matthews (nee Bawden)
Ada Penrose's parents were James Matthews/Mathews born
1862 and Eliza J. Bawden. James' father was Robert Mathews born 1835. (Roberts'other children were Robert, Elizabeth, Willian, Annie and Albert.)
My dad's eldest Sister Dorothy May was born in St Just + - 1911 Fred J. (Junior) my dad's brother born in Redruth 1912.
Ada's parents lived in Redruth at Innes/Inys? road in 1910 my dad always used to talk about Innes road. My dad also chatted about Plymouth he was born in South Africa. Dad was a Carpenter by trade. Fred Junior an engineer James the younger brother was a blacksmith and they all worked on the Mines in this area.
Ada Penrose's Mother was Eliza Jane Bawden & father was James Penrose. His father was Robert Matthews born Penzance or Madron. That is all the info I have.
Could anyone assist with any information.
Many thanks I really appreciate any Help.
