Alfred and Rose had one daughter 'Emma' who married Terence MACALISTER in Yass in 1924.
Richard and Sarah had other children who pre-deceased him. his death certificate will give you their names.
The Harris's had had no children by 1926. and they certainly didn't like each other enough to have any after.
