• Notes

  This Robert HARNISH is known to have married Lottie Olive HARNISH and it is known that a Robert HARNISH is the first husband of Dorothy FARNELL. But there is no document known at present that identifies this Robert HARNISH as her husband. What is known is that he was probably from the Sheet Harbour/Sober Island area and that Dorothy was born 1917. Further, this Robert HARNISH does not marry Lottie until he is age 33. Finally, he seems to be the only Robert HARNISH who fits the description. [Bob H]
