Love to hear from anyone who has any information at all, no matter how small, about any RANDALL family living in Harwich about 1836.

I have a John Cole RANDALL, born about then. He married in Australia in 1867, but a marriage certificate cannot be found. He died in 1874, his parents names were not recorded. However, other registration documents and hospital records all are all consistent in pointing to Harwich about 1836.

His first son was called Robert, a name which I have not found in his wife's family (Scottish, Irish) Because of the middle name of COLE, it is possible that this was in fact his original surname.

all clues gratefully received,
Christine Randall
