Research Notes

Circa 1970 Margaret Harrison Wright (b.1902) visited Canada to attend the 60^th wedding anniversary of Henry Harold and Agnes Harrison. She included this note in a letter shortly thereafter, probably to one of her Canadian nieces or nephews who enquired about forebears. The letter sets out what “Aunt Maggie” knew of the brothers and sisters of her father, Henry Harrison b.1860, and their families.

The note contains several omissions and inaccuracies.
