William Anthony Harrison

Awarded part of the compensation for 13 enslaved people in Trinidad with John Harrison and Sarah Ann Walkinshaw (both of whom q.v.).

1. A William Anthony Harrison appears in 1871 aged 70, a dentist, born 'Grand Caicos Barbadoes' [sic]  living at 10 Keppel Street with his daughter and son, and dying 23/04/1873 leaving £4000. This man was reportedly the son of a American loyalist, John Gregory Harrison, and a dental pioneer, but no connection has yet been established with the Trinidad family or the William Anthony Harrison of this award.

T71/894 Trinidad no. 1842A-C; T71/1277 identifies Wm Anthony Harrison as of Uxbridge and John Harrison as of Blandford Forum.
