Can't find a marriage between Harriet and Thomas (can anyone else see it?).

Methinks they didn't legally marry and that's why Joseph had the name Claydon.

Interesting in 1861:

HARRIS, Thomas Head Married M 25 1836 Labourer Bidford Warwickshire
HARRIS, Harriet Wife Married F 23 1838 Welford Gloucestershire
CLAYTON, William Lodger Brother In Law Unmarried M 30 1831 Labourer Welford Gloucestershire
CLAYTON, Caroline Sister Unmarried F 17 1844 Servant Welford Gloucestershire

Registration District: Kings Norton
Sub District: 1 Kings Norton
Enumeration District: 11
Ecclesiastical Parish: Moseley
Civil Parish: Kings Norton

Address: Kings Heath, Kings Norton County: Worcestershire

Is this too much of a coincidence?

This is all coming together now, as Harriet's parentage on the IGI is listed as a James Claydon and a Martha - this must be Martha Grimmit

Maybe this is it.
Michael and Martha Grimmit christened Esther 29/1/1826.

Martha Grimmet married James Claydon 9/9/1827 (So did Michael Grimmet die ??)

Esther Grimmet christened Martha 1846.

Maryb.

EDIT Harriett down as Clayton in 1839 to James and Martha Clayton (Claydon).

Sorry, I have been a massive idiot! Have no idea why I didn't do this sooner and search for the birth of a Harriet Claydon. Well, didn't I just find one harriet Claydon born in Welford in 1839!

Marie, I was thinking that and just looking on FreeBMD and IGI when I saw your recent message! Unfortunately, I can't seem to find any mention at all of any of those parties. Was hoping to find Ester's maiden name and then see what Sarah's maiden name was, as it seems more likely that Ester would be a great aunt to Joseph as on the 1881 census she is born in 1826, Welford, her husband John Climber 1828, St. Nicholas Warwick

MarieCeleste Report 27 Aug 2011 18:11

Have you looked for John and Ester's marriage to see what Ester's maiden name was? Could she have been Harriett's sister?
