Thomas Harris ¹

   Another name for Thomas was Harry.

  General Notes:

I think Thomas is George's father, even though from 1822 back in time the name is recorded as Harry not Harris. As Harry starts, so the Harris' disappear and the occupation of shoemaker, in Mumbles for both of them, is fairly definitive. I doubt whether there would be a George Harry and a George Harris both shoemakers in Mumbles, both married to a Mary.

His birth doesn't seem to be registered unlike his siblings, but I will check again before the film goes back
Checked 1841 Census and George is at home with mother and siblings (more siblings than I recorded from pr's) so fairly certain, the Harry's became Harris' during this generation.
