For “Baptised” 18 SEP 1794 of Harriet Harris

Name: Harriet Ann Harris | Gender: Female | Record Type: Baptism Baptism Date: 18 Sep 1794 | Baptism Place: St Leonard's, Shoreditch, Hackney, Middlesex, England Father: James Harris | Mother: Mary Harris | Register Type: Parish Register Reference Number: 22792833 | Additional Reference Number: 1786528 Source Citation: London Metropolitan Archives; London, England, UK; London Church of England Parish Registers; Reference Number: P91/LEN/A/004/MS07496/011

Ancestry collection 1624, record 6142420, read in Chrome 2026-09-17/18 for items 1015/1017 (Harriet vs Mary Elisabeth Harris; Maria Sarah vs Mary Elisabeth Harris). Confirms baptism date already on the tree (18 Sep 1794) and gives the register's own fuller name 'Harriet Ann Harris' (added as an aka name row below - the 'Ann' middle name was not previously recorded). Twin pairing with Maria Sarah Harris (#15345, event #30548) register-confirmed via the matching Additional Reference Number 1786528 and consecutive Reference Number. Does NOT resolve the detector's birth-date-spacing complaint: Harriet's recorded birth (27 DEC 1793, uncited, unchanged here) sits only 39-42 days before sister Mary Elisabeth Harris's recorded birth (4 FEB 1794, uncited) - a same-mother impossibility if both are correct - and this register carries no birth-date field to check either against. === NOT ESTABLISHED === Separately, not drafted here: this person's existing BIRT citation (#13809, on event #30532) quotes an 1861 census row ('Record for Jane M Tills') and gives a birthplace (St Martin in the Fields) that disagrees with every sibling's Shoreditch birthplace - an apparent import mis-citation, flagged for its own future pass rather than fixed with this pass's evidence.
