Letitia C. HARRIS of Barncoose

  • Born: 1843, Phillack, Cornwall 1
  • Died: Oct 1948, Barncoose, Camborne-Redruth, Cornwall 2

  Research Notes:

In 1871 Letitia Harris (27) of Phillack was with her father and his 2nd wife in Bar, Falmouth.

In 1881 Letitia Harris (36) of Phillack was with her father and his wife at 11 Railway Cottage, Falmouth.

In 1891 Letitia Harris (48) of Hayle was with her half-brother William J Harris (31) of Hayle, tailor, and half-sister Eliza A Strickland (45) of Falmouth, widow, in Commercial Rd., Phillack.

In 1939 Letitia C Harris (b. Sep 1846), unpaid household duties retired, was in the Poor Law Institution, Camborne-Redruth.

-------------------------

Letitia C Harris died aged 102. While this is the age provided in both the GROE death index and the Cornish Telegraph (see below), Letitia having been born in 1843 was actually closer to 105 when she died. Her age at each of the Censuses generally attests to this.

-------------------------

Miss Letitia Harris, who death occurred at the age of 102 at Barncoose Hospital, was the oldest inhabitant of Camborne-Redruth. She had lived at Ventonleague, Hayle, for many years and had been at Barncoose for some twenty-three years; until recently she had enjoyed good health. So far as is known, Miss Harris had no near relations. The funeral took place at Redruth cemetery last week.
