Francis Harris died aged 51 years (burial record).
------------------------
There is no baptismal record for Francis in St. Gluvias or the surrounding parishes. 3 However, it is likely he was an unrecorded younger son of Richard Harris and Mary Richards who were having children in Penryn every couple of years between 1744 and 1761, most of whom died young. The only surviving son was John Harris (christened 12 Mar 1755), noting that John Harris was a witness to the marriage of Francis Harris and Ann Dunstone, after having himself married the year before, and the earliest recorded John Harris in the St. Gluvias register for baptisms in the 1700s. After John, the next child of Richard Harris and Mary on record was Richard who was christened four yeas later on 19 Mar 1759.
Onomastically it can be noted that Francis and Ann had two daughters named Susanna (the first christened 31 Dec 1798 and buried 24 Oct 1798; the second christened 1 Dec 1799); as a son of Richard Harris, Francis had an aunt Susannah Harris, a great-aunt Susanna Harris, and a great-grandmother also named Susanna.
