	Hi everyone, Thank you all so much for helping me with my fathers Mackrell family in Weybourne, I am now finishing my fathers Harris family, I have found James Harris b.1771 married Phoebe Early,he ws born in South Newton Wilts and died in Westbury, Wilts, however he lived in Yateley/Hartley Wintney area as gypsies now I have his parents as Robert Harris b 1748, and Mary Edwards from Westbury and his grandfather Robert Harris b.1725 and grandmother Jane Hine again from Westbury, although I have found some birth, marriage and death certs, can anyone confirm what I am finding or am I of the beeton track!!! can any one go further back? I had wondered if the Harris's came from Scotland being as they were gypsies? Kind regards Val nee Harris

	Yes It looks like you a right. I am related to James Harris and Phoebe Early, so who was his father, his grandfather I believe was Robert Harriss and Jane Hine or am I barking up the wrong tree!!!!
