	Not sure, but wiliam born in cornwall and was possibly dead before 1891. I have also been unable to find a death for him . born 1824 ish too so that william is a little bit younger. Not a retired soldier either i dont think . strange. mary isnt buried with him either . :-S

	Could the couple have separated and William described himself as a widower in 1901? This is the only William Harris of around the right age that I can find in Burnley and he would fit with the death in Burnley:- 1901 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription 10, Hill Top, Barrowford, Burnley, Lancashire, England First name(s) Last name Relationship Marital status Gender Age Birth year Occupation Birth place William Harris Head Widower Male 74 1827 Retired Soldier Hertfordshire, England EDIT - No this one had a wife called Kate, so I think the death in 1901 was this one and NOT your William.

	hi trying to find a william harris who was born around 1820-1825 in cornwall , possibly launceston, who married mary kenner buckingham in stoke demarel in 1846 , They moved to burnley in lancashire in the 1870's and wondered if anyone can find them on a census, maybe 1881 or 1891 , or even 1901. they both died in burnley in the early 1900's . i think mary died in 1907, but william died a little earlier. thanks shirley :-)
