Alexander BYRNE married Elizabeth HARRIS on 6 September 1813 in St.Nicholas, Brighton, Sussex

 

Death Notice (Cape Archives) of Alexander's eldest child Rhoda (who later married Matthew ADAMS of the same party) says she was born in Lewes, Sussex ca 1808. As Alexander did not marry Elizabeth HARRIS until 1813 this suggests she was either Alexander's daughter from a previous marriage or was illegitimate.
