Biography

William Henry Harris was born 20/9/1839 in Falkenham in Suffolk, England, the first son (and one of nine children) of the Rev Samuel and Emily Harris. The family emigrated to South Australia in 1851 on the ship 'Asia", and settled in Macclesfield in the Adelaide Hills. William became a chemist/druggist. In 1872, he married Eliza Hunwick and the marriage was reported in the SA Register of Thursday 8/8/1872 as follows:

MARRIAGE HARRIS-HUNWICK-On the 7th August, at Hindmarsh, by the father of the bridegroom, W. H. Harris, of Riverton, eldest son of the Rev. S. L. Harris, to Eliza, only daughter of the late Mr. F. Hunwick. South Australian Register (Adelaide, SA : 1839 - 1900) - Thu 8 Aug 1872. Newspaper article downloaded from the National Library of Australia’s TROVE web site. Copyright has expired.

William and Eliza had three children: William Francis Harris , Edith Harris, Lilian Harris. In 1872, he was living in Riverton, South Australia (presumably where his pharmacy practice was at that time). He died on 21/12/1906 at 3 Irwin Street, Wallaroo, SA, and was buried in the Wallaroo Cemetery on 23/12/1906.
