the following information :- The date of the wedding at the Parish
Churh of St. James Barrow in Furness was 2/12/1873. The fathers
Were given as Jamey Willis, Labourer; and Thomas Buchanan (deceased),
Parish Clerk. (It is believed Thomas Buchanan was Parish Clerk of
Fivemiletown).
The information on the three Harwood children was obtained from the
Vital Records Index and the IGI
Annie Harwood (Nee Buchanan) died young and of her children Thomas
went to live with James and Sarah Willis, John went to live with
John and Esther Buchanan. Fredrick went to America at some point.
A transcription of a letter from Fredrick Harwood in America is
enclosed. This letter describes his life and how he finished up
in America. This letter is the key to finding James Buchanan
