William Harris's origins are unclear. As an adult he consistently claimed to have been born at Newport Pagnell in Buckinghamshire around 1802, but there were at least three people called William Harris baptised at Newport Pagnell around that time.
William's first confirmed sighting is on 18th May 1830, when he married Ann Goodman at Willen, just south of Newport Pagnell. They went on to have eight children together between 1831 and 1846, although at least two died as infants, whilst one daughter died aged thirteen in 1855 and their youngest son died aged nineteen in 1865.
The 1841 census finds William, Ann and their children living at Willen, along with Ann's mother. William was working an agricultural labourer.
By 1846 the family had left Willen and moved back to Newport Pagnell. Each census from 1851 to 1871 finds William, Ann and some of their children living at Abbey End there. William worked variously as an agricultural labourer and market gardener, whilst Ann was a lacemaker and laundress.
William died in 1871, when he was said to be 69 years old. He was buried at Newport Pagnell on 11th December 1871.
