Research
The only record in Woodbastwick for a Thomas Harris shows that he married on 09 Sep 1764 Mary Bowering. Their children include: Rebecca, b. 1764; Sarah, b. 1768; Thomas, b. 1772.
- * Online family trees seem to suggest that Mary Bowering died in 1837.
A second record of Mary's birth only lists Ann as her mother.
- * Is it possible that Mary was illegitimate?
