Thank you for the extra information.

I have looked on the national archives website and found documents are available with the names Daniel Chamberlain and James Hardy Chamberlain on them. The addresses on the census returns are also mentioned.

The only thing is I don't really understand them and wonder with James being a solicitor if his name is appearing for legal reasons and that they are not really going to help me get more family information.

What are your thoughts?

I typed in James+Hardy+Chamberlain to get the results.

so the first Susa. Hardy Chamberlain died


from ancestry


London, England, Non-conformist Registers, 1694-1921

Name: Susannah Hardy Chamberlain
Birth Year: abt 1797
Age: 14/12
Church: Whitefield's Memorial Church
Burough: Camden
County: Middlesex
Event Type: Burial
Event Date: 9 Sep 1798


On the actual image it says St Mary-le-Bone, but i tisn't clear whether that is the district where they lived or the church.



?????? I wonder if this is the second Susannah Hardy Chamberlain


London, England, Non-conformist Registers, 1694-1921

Name: Susanh Chamberlin
Birth Year: abt 1801
Age: 20/12
Church: Whitefield's Memorial Church
Burough: Camden
County: Middlesex
Event Type: Burial
Event Date: 14 Aug 1803

Again, it says St Mary-le-Bone on the image

I went to the first page of the record and it showed this:-
No 2 The Register of Funerals in the Chapel and Burying Ground Tottenham Court Road

Thank you so much Sylvia for all the very helpful information.

I know what you are saying about information from other peoples trees, that is why I like to try and find evidence to support the names.

I am so pleased Benjamin Hardy has shown up as a witness at the marriage. I will now try to find where he fits in, if I can.

Thank you once again for all your help, it is very much appreciated.

London, England, Marriages and Banns, 1754-1921

Name: Daniel Chamberlain, Bachelor
Spouse Name: Sarah Field, Spinster
Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 23 Nov 1795
Parish: St Marylebone
County: Middlesex
Borough: Westminster

Witnesses:- Benjamin Hardy and John Willock


John Willock is a witness at another marriage on the same page ...... so might be a so-called "professional witness", one who received a small amount of money to be a witness



But note the name of the other witnesss.

I have tried to see the baptism on the London Records on ancestry ...... but it does not seem to be there.


Always doubt other people's trees unless you are certain that they are meticulous researchers!

Thank you both for your help, very much appreciated.

I thought Caroline Hardy Chamberlain's mother was Louisa Georgina Hardy, but how do I prove that she was (or maybe that she wasn't) ?

After seeing the information on Carolines marriage banns it said the witnesses were Daniel (father) & Sarah Chamberlain. I thought Sarah could have been a sister, but I have now found a reference to a marriage of a Daniel Chamberlain and Sarah Field in 1795, so I am now wondering if the information I was given from someone elses tree about Louisa being Carolines mother is correct.

Any advice of where to go from here would be appreciated.

Caroline Hardy Chamberlain

Could someone please look up the marriage banns on Ancestry for the above person. I am hoping she married William Baker who was the son of Samuel Baker.

Thank you
