Hi Claire

Huge apologies for not remembering your research. As soon as I read "Church
of the Immaculate Conception, East London" I recalled assisting you before.
I went and searched the List's Archives to do a quick recap and see that you
did receive a response from Avril regarding Patricia
HARRISON.

Not sure is these inscriptions below are of any use, but worth a try.

East Bank Cemetery, East London

HARRISON, Alice Mary, b. 5 May 1894, d. 13 Apr 1914, b. Barry Co,
Glamorganshire, Wales
HARRISON, Christopher, b. 13 Mar 1882, d. 25 Apr 1949
HARRISON, Elizabeth [no further details]
HARRISON, Mabel, b. 24 Jul 1869, d. 23 Dec 1916, w.o. Charles Walter WEBSTER

Best wishes
Becky
