John Harmer's Children

As far as is known, John and his wife Mary Ann had nine children between 1843 and 1862. Eight survived to adulthood, and seven travelled to America with their parents in 1860. Their last child was born in New York.

You can read about their lives by clicking the links below. Some information about their early lives in England is repeated for the benefit of readers who only wish to read about one particular child.

My research into John’s children is a work in progress. As I am UK-based I am largely reliant upon internet resources regarding the family’s time in New Jersey, so (and regardless of that!) if you are a descendant of one of John’s children I would LOVE to hear from you. Corrections and queries are also welcomed. Maybe one day we will have photographs of these Harmer descendents!
