They were sons of Emily Agnes Jones (O'Brien) and Thomas Lawrence Harrison. The brothers were selected in the team to represent Australia in Rifle Shooting at the Stockholm Olympic Games in 1912. Leslie declined to go as he had a young family and the team members had to pay for their own espenses and fares. Frederick the others ran out of funds whilst practising in England and never made it to the games. I am Malcolm Gray- Grandson of Leslie Henry Harrison.

Many co-incidences. I grew up around the Barossa Valley and went to Marananga, Nuriootpa and Kapunda schools. The Sir John Franklin Hotel is still in business. The Railway Hotel, now a private residence is for sale. Emily Agnes attended around 1870 St.Josephs Catholic School in Penola SA now (Saint)Mary McKillops School and I have a request lodged with the Mary McKillop Centre, Penola for any information they can find about her. Thanking you. Malcolm GrayAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17720875833260862809noreply@blogger.com
