St. Augustine, Dalington, Durham, England Catholic Records NOTES: 1. Ralph was 54 years old when he died EXPLANATION: In the journal left by Ralph Harrison, Jr. in the hands of Ruby Christensen (daughter of Eliza Toward Harrison Janes) it said that several of this Ralph's sons emigrated to Georgia, USA. They did not join the Church. I (Maxine H. Williams) have examined this journal and made notes, but regret that the journal was destroyed at the death of Ruby. Her family apparently didn't recognize what a treasure it was.
