  • The baptismal register entry for their son James gives the mother's name as Elizabeth. A search for the marriage of a James Harris to an Elizabeth in St Columb Minor where their son was baptised was fruitless. Widenining the search produced only one reasonable entry with respect to the marriage date, which as the son was named after his father, was likely to be about a year before the baptism (22 May 1743). Boyton which is close to the border with Devon is about 40 miles from St Columb Minor. Why they moved from Boyton to St Columb Minor after they were married is not known.
