Can anyone help me find any information on Harriet Marham's children's father. All I know about Harriet is that she was born in 1864 in docking, had a daughter called Ella and a son called Robert. Any information would be gratefully received.

There are births registered for Edward Dix and Alice Dix but not for Ella so I'm going to guess that she is Ella Marham. I wouldn't even begin to assume that George is the father of either Ella or the other children.
