Find Ancestors

Hi

Not sure if anyone can help with this but am looking to go a step
further back and find my Gt Gt Grandparent.

The only info I have on my gt gt grandfather is on his sons marriage certificate which was in SHOREDITCH...his name is JOHN HARVEY...
(not an easy one I know!) and he was a WATCHMAKER.

Thanks Sandra

When ?

what was the sons name date of birth and when did he marry

Bit more info required, please, Sandra.

What was your gt grandfather's name; when and where did he marry? When and where was he born?

Oh sorry.......Son married in March 1864 to a lady called JANE MARY DAVIS
SHOREDITCH

Son...JOHN HARVEY B1830 SHOREDITCH

Given the place of marriage, could this be John Senior:

I think Harriet was Harriet Euesden but I cannot view the marriage to confirm. The birth cert of Ann would confirm it.

john senior occupation on census watchmaker

Potty

Thank you sooo very much.....really kind of you to produce all that info for me.

A possible marriage for John and Harriet - unfortuneately back that far there was no info on the record of occupation, address or father's name:

Name: John Harvey
Spouse Name: Harriot Euesden
Record Type: Marriage
Marriage Date: 08 Sep 1828
Parish: St Luke, Old Street
County: Middlesex

Sorry for jumping in late, but would Sandra be kind enough to point out the family in 1871?

I just got a little confused by the marriage of John and Jane Mary. He's a Brick layer?

Just seen your post, Maureen and not sure now if I have the correct family. Sandra, what was John junior's occupation on his marriage cert? Was he a watchmaker like his father?

I was wondering as well,Chris.
