Nothing for Harridge on that date, nor for the whole of 1801.
The earliest Harridge reference it comes up with on a keyword search is Dec
31st 1805.

I've often believed The Times search facility to be a bit perverse - it is,
after all, scanning a scanned image of a page covered with small, smudgy
printing, then relying on ocr for a match. It's amazing that it works at
all, never mind as well as it does!

There again, someone else may fish it straight out, first shot.
