Find Ancestors

I'm not sure, but I think I just found William's marriage to Harriet Maria Hall, but it's dated 25th Dec 1871.
Found that on IGI, so I guess I better try and work out some of the other kids.

Thanks again for your help... the quest goes on!

Harborne is in the Kings Norton reg district. William could have married Eliza in 1848 and her sister Harriett in 1871. Possible death for Eliza:

Well i was just gonna go to bed, but I definetly think I got it.
I just looked up marriages on BMD fo William George an Harriett... I got 2 back!
No Harriett Maria Hall mentioned... but... I got Harriett Swingler andddddd.....
Harriet Marshall.

So, did Harriet take over from her sister Eliza then, meaning after she died? Eliza would be he's first wife, and Harriet would be the 2nd?

Interestingly enough, I just searched up Eliza Marshall and found her to have a marriage the same month and year. (ignore this bit, confused again)

What are you thinking?

(Looks to be another late one)

I had the same thought as you, maybe he had married Eliza and then married Harriett Hall... but then thinking about it... Harriet has been persistantly there the whole time. He could of been a swinger... lol, sorry.

But if he did marry Harriett Marshall in 1862, and you have Eliza's death in 1865.. would they have got divorced? It don't seem likely if he has all the kid's!

Could she have been ill? Or was William a biggamist?

Thinking caps on!

The other thing was I was unable to find a marriage between Harriett Marshall and anyone named Hall, but I haven't tried IGI for that yet.

Edit***Nothing on IGI

Cracked it...

Found the death of Eliza.


Deaths Dec 1861 (>99%)

George Eliza Kings N 6c 245

Which would make it possible for him to marry Harriett!

What a puzzle?!?!

Why are other peoples' families so much more interesting than mine?! Hmmph. I think your record for Eliza's death sounds by far the more likely one. He didn't hang about did he! I'll send you the census records tomorrow as I very cleverly didn't save them. So glad that it all seems to be fitting together.

Ok I bit the bullet and tried to track William back further.. found him in 1851 and Harriett was still living with him and Eliza then.
She must have been a really good sister!

Anyhow, now looking at the 1841, I'm kinda torn!
I know nothing of the old time town names, but couldn't find he's named town of birth North Lindsey.
What I did find what someone who matched the same age bracket, but was born...

Name: William George
Age: 15
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1826
Gender: Male
Where born: Warwickshire, England

Civil Parish: Alcester
Hundred: Barlichway (Alcester Division)
County/Island: Warwickshire
Country: England

Still in Warwickshire, could it be the same one?

Just did a quick search and found that Norton Lindsey comes under Barlichway, couldn't find a christening for William on IGI though. Maybe someone with access to Warwickshire parish records would be able to help? I'm still struggling with pre-census info!
