Who Are These People?

Jemima Harrison (née Whittle) was Henry Harold Harrison Sr.’s great-great-grandmother. John and Elizabeth were his great-grandparents. At least we’re pretty sure they were! Henry Harold was born in May 1886, soon after John and Elizabeth died.

Location of the Grave

There are several paths running north/south behind the church. This grave is between the first and second of these paths, about four rows from the second path (see map). The coordinates are N 53° 35′ 13.2″, W 2° 39′ 35.8″.
