Biography
Eliza (Waller) Harrison was born in Ireland.
Eliza Georgina "Lily" Waller was born on 28 June 1872[1]. She was the younger daughter of Robert Jocelyn Waller and Sarah Georgina Andrews.
Sadly her sister Florence died in 1873. Three years later, she lost her mother in 1877, when she was only five years old. Her father remarried.
In the 1901 Ireland Census, Eliza G Waller (aged 28) was recorded living with her father Robert Waller (62, a Maltster and JP), her step-mother Amy M Waller (45) and her half-sister Ellen N Waller (19) at Nenagh North, Nenagh East Urban, Tipperary. Also in the household were two servants[2].
Lily married John Dennis Wills Harrison on 28 August 1902 in Buenos Aires. Notice of their marriage was printed on page 1 of the Weekly Irish Times dated 13 September 1902:
- MARRIAGES.
- HARRISON and WALLER—August 28, Buenos Aires, John Dennis Harrison, Esq., second son of George Dennis Harrison, Esq., C.E., 6 Lansdowne place, Clifton, Bristol, to Eliza Georgina (Lily), eldest daughter of Robert Jocelyn Waller, Esq., Summerville, Nenagh, County Tipperary.[3]
They probably had one daughter Kathleen Harrison (b. abt. 1908).
On 30 August 1926 they arrived into London, England on the ship Baronesa, having departed from River Plate, South America. Eliza Harrison was aged 52, John D W Harrison was aged 52, and Kathleen Harrison was aged 18[4].
Eliza Georgina "Lily" Harrison passed away some time after 1926, but before 1939.
