  • The Story of a Worcestershire Harris Family – Part 2: the Siblings
    Foreword Through marriage, the male line of descent of our Harris family has Our work on Part Two of our story has brought an added bonus. By links with Clark, Matthews, Price, Jones and Graves families. delving more deeply into the lateral branches of our tree, our findings have thrown new light on the family of our first known ancestor, John Through the siblings of the Harris males and the families of their Harris, who married Mary Clark in Eastham on 30 December 1779. spouses, we are also linked to such diverse family names as Apperley, Baldwin, Birkin, Boulton, Bray, Browning, Butler, Craik, Brian Harris, Cowbridge, February 2012 Davies, Davis, Garbett, Godfrey, Gore, Gould, Griffiths, Hall, Harrod, Hehir, Homer, Hughes, Moon, Passey, Pitt, Postans, Pound, Preece, Prime, Robotham, Sewell, Skyrme, Sprittles, Stinissen, Thomas,Thurston, Tingle, Turner, Twinberrow, Ward, Yarnold and many more. They are part of a network of Harris connections which takes us beyond the boundaries of Worcestershire, Herefordshire and the rest of the British Isles to Belgium, Australia, Canada and the USA. It may come as a surprise that two of the siblings of Edward James Harris who emigrated to Canada before WWI had already married and started a family in England before leaving these shores. They were George and Edith. Even more surprisingly, Agnes and Hubert, who arrived in Canada as singletons, chose partners who were – like themselves – recently arrived ex-pats and married siblings from the same family of Scottish emigrants, the Craiks.

  • BENEATH HAY BLUFF, UNITED KINGDOM Course ID: ARCH 365BG June 23Rd – August 1St, 2021
    BENEATH HAY BLUFF, UNITED KINGDOM Course ID: ARCH 365BG June 23rd – August 1st, 2021 FIELD SCHOOL DIRECTOR(S): Prof. Julian Thomas, Department of Classics, Ancient History & Archaeology, University of Manchester ([email protected]) Prof. Keith Ray, Department of Archaeology, University of Cardiff ([email protected]) Dr. Nick Overton, Department of Classics, Ancient History & Archaeology, University of Manchester ([email protected]) Tim Hoverd, Herefordshire County Council ([email protected]) INTRODUCTION Since 2010, the Beneath Hay Bluff Project has been investigating the character of prehistoric, and specifically Neolithic activity in southwest Herefordshire, or the border between modern England and Wales. This region has been somewhat neglected by prehistoric archaeology, in part owing to a lack of antiquarian investigations, but it is increasingly clear that it is distinguished by a rich and under- exploited prehistoric record. In seeking to address questions of monumentality, memory, place and material traditions, we have excavated at a number of sites, including the funerary round cairn at 1 | P a g e Olchon Court and the long mounds, buildings and causewayed enclosure of Dorstone Hill. The region is a rural one, with picturesque villages, castles, abbeys, rolling hills and lush river valleys: it is at once typically ‘English’ and bordering on rugged Welsh uplands. The field school provides a unique learning experience by drawing on the resources of both the University of Manchester and Herefordshire Archaeology, who contribute facilities, equipment and staff. Many of our supervisory staff are professionals from the world of commercial archaeology, who bring a wealth of experience and know- how.
