Daughter of John Harrison 1786 and Jane
Jane was born about 1824 (1) in Cartmel, Lancashire. She married Barrow Nicholson on 14 June 1859 (2) in Beetham, Westmorland. She had known Barrow for some time as the 1851 Census shows him working as an Agricultural Labourer on her fathers farm.
Barrow Nicholson was baptised on 20 Feb 1825 (2) in Witherslack, Westmorland. His parents are William Nicholson and Agnes.
Barrow was a Farmer and he and Jane moved into Meathop Farm. Meathop & Ulpha, Westmorland. The land may have been owned by George Barrow, prehaps a family relation. I cannot find any trace of children from this marriage.
Barrow died in 1890 (3) aged 65 - Jane died in 1890 (4) aged 66
