Descendants of Christopher Harrison 

            Yorkshire England

On the IGI a Christopher Harrison's wife is listed as being Elizabeth. I have an official document from Australian record which states my Christopher Harrisons wife  name was Margaret Cow.

 

So therefore there could be two Christopher Harrisons or the names on the IGI could be wrong.

If anyone can confirm the Christopher Harrison on the IGI is feel free to contact me
