Could this be William's death if they were living in Liskeard in 1871:-

First name(s) WILLIAM
Last name HARRIS

Birth month -
Birth year 1825
Age 58
Death quarter 1
Death year 1883

Record set England & Wales Deaths 1837-2007

I edited my last post about the William who was a retired soldier to say I didn't think he was "yours".

Not sure, but wiliam born in cornwall and was possibly dead before 1891. I have also been unable to find a death for him . born 1824 ish too so that william is a little bit younger. Not a retired soldier either i dont think . strange. mary isnt buried with him either . :-S

hi
I have a memoir of son george harris and he talked about the village they lived in as children . dora married titus gaukroger in burnley in the late 1870's . Just unable to find william and mARY ON the 1881. Not certain of williams death date either but mary was widowed by 1891. :-)

Could the couple have separated and William described himself as a widower in 1901? This is the only William Harris of around the right age that I can find in Burnley and he would fit with the death in Burnley:-

EDIT - No this one had a wife called Kate, so I think the death in 1901 was this one and NOT your William.

hi
trying to find a william harris who was born around 1820-1825 in cornwall , possibly launceston, who married mary kenner buckingham in stoke demarel in 1846 , They moved to burnley in lancashire in the 1870's and wondered if anyone can find them on a census, maybe 1881 or 1891 , or even 1901. they both died in burnley in the early 1900's . i think mary died in 1907, but william died a little earlier.
thanks
shirley :-)
