Leonr2z Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Might be worth checking old court records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmund Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Was this the man? HARRISON Henry, of Rivelin-Lodge Sheffield, yeoman, died 9 January 1899 Probate WAKEFIELD 29 June to Matilda Harrison widow Effects £2768 17s 10d. (The full will is available at a cost of £10) If it was the correct HH, then he obviously didn't lose all his wealth, just a few bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
