• Notes

  The identity of the John Harnish who moves to Liverpool and marries Angelina seems to hinge on his DOB as shown in the 1901 Census. There, he is shown as b. 22 Feb 1835. Now the 1901 Census is notorious for being off by one year so the question is--is there a John HARNISH b. 22 Feb 1834, 1835, or 1836. The only John HARNISH who seems to fit is this John HARNISH, who looks like a near-perfect fit. [Bob H]
