Pam Harrison
I’m looking for anyone who can tell me anything about the Harrison Family from Longton. My husband and I have
visited the area and I have spoken to a lady who knew Giles (a tailor) very well, He died in 1960 and none seems to
be able to tell us any more.
I saw the spreadsheets produced from the parish registers when we were in the church and wondered if anyone
could look up a baptism for me. I am looking for the baptism of Mary Elizabeth Harrison who, I thought, was
born in 1921 but now some doubt is being thrown on that date. That same Mary Elizabeth was married in the
1940’s (not in Longton) but I believed 2 of her daughters – Annette and Elaine Clarke – were christened in
Longton in 1949 and 1951. Can anyone help me please?
