HARRISON, CLULEY

[Greg Yancer]

I am trying to find the parents of Rebecca HARRISON b. abt. 1823. I know she had a son out of wedlock in 1849 named James Charles HARRISON, later to be changed to Cluley. Rebecca m. Thomas CLULEY 24/12/1854 in Walsgrave-on-Sowe.
Rebecca is listed in the 1851 census as living with her widowed mother, Sarah in Sowe.
This is my wife's family and we came to a halt when we found out that her family was actually not CLULEYS, but Harrison and who knows what.

Thanks, Greg

The IGI has Rebecca Harrison bapt 9 Nov 1823 at Walsgrave on Sowe parents James and Sarah.
Also a marriage of James Harrison to Sarah Smith 15 Sept 1816 at Walsgrave.
Hope this helps

Sam,
Thank you very much. This is information that I didn't have about Rebecca's parents. This gives me some place to start.

Thanks again,
Greg

Hello Greg
I may be able to help with your query.
Firstly in the 1851 census Rebecca is listed living with her mother. However it indicates her mother was married not widowed.
I believe Sara's husband James Harrison was recorded in that census on the farm where he worked and was listed as a farm servant. His age was shown as 60 and he was shown as married.
I believe Sarah was a Smith. The IGI lists a Sarah Smith marrying James Harrison on the 15th September 1816 at Walsgrave on Sowe.
The IGI also lists a female child. Smith Sarah / Elizabeth Smith F C 23rd March 1794 Walsgrave on Sowe
There was no reference to a father
James and Sarah it appears had at least 9 children of whom Rebecca was one and sister to my 3x Great Grandmother Mary who had an illigitimate son John Henry Ison Harrison in 1850 whilst houskeeper to Henry Ison.
