Distribution of the family
name in 1881
|
Current head
of known tree is Thomas
HARRISON (c1803), a Collier of Green Hill Lane*, and his wife
Elizabeth KNIGHTON of Somercotes m.
24.12.1823 at Alfreton [my 4xGGPs]. Thomas may be s/o
Thomas c. 20.2.1803 at Alfreton.
Descendants were part of the
many coalmining families working many parts of the
Yorkshire/Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire coalfield.
The Greenhill Lane Hamlet was
on the road between Leabrooks & Riddings (map below).
Their daughter Ann
HARRISON (n. c1828) married
Thomas
VARLEY,
a Coalminer of Green Hill Lane, Alfreton on 23.8.1846 at Alfreton
Parish Church (both were given as minors). [My 3xGGPs]. Witnesses
were John KNIGHTON
& Elizabeth WILLIAMSON.
Their children were:

Joseph
HARRISON (c1834), m. Emma
JACKLIN in 1853 at Riddings, near
GHL (both of GHL). In 1881 their children included:
Jonathan
HARRISON
(c1861 GHL), coalminer;
Thomas
HARRISON
(c1864 GHL), coalminer;
Maria
HARRISON
(c1868 of Stonebroom);
Ann
O. HARRISON (c1866
Sutton-in-Ashfield).
Mary
HARRISON (c1836);
Elizabeth
HARRISON (c1838);
Hannah
HARRISON (c1841);
James
HARRISON (1842), married Emma
SIMISTER
(c1850 d/o John, from Portobella, ?Norfolk, at 1867 Staveley).
In 1881 their children included:
Mary
E. HARRISON
(c1870 Hasland, DBY);
John
W. HARRISON
(c1872 New Wombwell, DBY);
Elizabeth
HARRISON
(c1875 Allerton by Water, DBY);
Joseph
HARRISON
(c1878 Swinton, YKS);
Emily
HARRISON
(c1880 Sheffield, YKS);
Also listed in 1841 at the
end as resident were three further coalmining boys James
HARRISON (15), William
HARRISON (15) & Samuel
HARRISON (14) who may be
related to the family (older sons or nephew of the head). The
census gives the family East Derbyshire origins but they may
have nearby West Nottinghamshire roots.
After Thomas's death (c1843?)
the widow Elizabeth HARRISON married
widower Joseph ELLIS
between 1848 & 1851 [Joseph ELLIS probably first married
Esther ASHLEY in 1825 at Tibshelf, who was buried 18.5.1848 at
Tupton.] Their combined families were living at Railway Ferry,
Staveley, Derbys., in 1851 [ELLIS sons Samson (17), Joseph (14),
James (12) & Edward (10), all coalminers, and 3 HARRISON
children; Joseph
HARRISON
(17), coalminer, Elizabeth
HARRISON
(13) both above in 1841 & new son James
HARRISON
(8), all of Greenhill Lane.] In 1881 Elizabeth
ELLIS was living with her sister
Mary JOHNSON
nee KNIGHTON
in Hasland, near Chesterfield. Elizabeth's stepson Joseph ELLIS
was also living in Hasland. The families of Samson & James
ELLIS, and Joseph & James
HARRISON, both coalminers, were in
1881 New Cross, Sutton-in-Ashfield, Notts.
*Note: Greenhill
Lane (GHL) is not a street in Alfreton, but one apparently
running between the villages of Swanwick (some GHL refs in 1841)
and Riddings. The majority of references suggest that GHL is a
district hamlet and is treated as a village in the 1851 census.
