Marris Pedigree – Generations 18–29 Note 1: For reasons of space, not every side branch of the Marris pedigree is shown in detail. The descent below is for the “Marris of Burton Corner” line, so called the 1952 edition of Burke’s Landed Gentry. This is the line researched by Harold Colquhoun Marris OBE (1883-1966). Harold’s pedigree was accepted by Ulster Office, Dublin in 1938 and by the College of Arms in London shortly afterwards. Note 2: Other branches that connect into the tree below will be found in self-contained PDFs on the Marris Family History website – see: https://www.marrisfamilyhistory.uk/. 3: Individuals in the main line of descent are shown below in blue bold type, underlined.
