Charles and Harriet Harris

The Harris family were a reasonably wealthy family from the East End of London, where they owned and developed extensive residential property holdings. Charles Harris was our settler ancestor and came to New Zealand around 1875. He married Harriet Wells on 6 October 1880 in Mangonui, where he then lived the rest of his life and was buried following his death in 1905. Their four children Joker, Tad, Laura and Jessie were all born in Mangonui and left many descendants – many are documented in this book.
