ooh just noticed there were 3 children born and one had died so now need to find the other one .

Erm, how will you do that? Probably will need the PRs as there are loads of Harrison births.

I've just realised this is on FreeBMD, but the district is down as Pontardawe

so do you think its mistranscribed then ?

I know it is, because it says Pontefract on the original page and the page number, 149, is within the range for Pontefract. The volume number has got switched too, but is correct on the original page.

The simplest thing to do would be for her to order it from the GRO.
