Hi all,
I am having some difficulties locating any information about the Harper family from Bethnal Green. They do not appear on the IGI and I can not find their marriage details on the Ancestry BMD so I can send for their marriage certificate
What I am looking for is the marriage/baptism/birth details for James Harper (born 1830) and Ann Hughes (born 1833), their first child (James Harper) was born in 1850 in Bethnal Green and their second, Ann was a relation of fine. I managed to find her BMD details as so have her birth certificate and her mother is down as Ann Hughes.
I subscribe to Ancestry so have access to all the census' and on the 1841 on their appears to be two James Harper's and two Ann Hughes which confuses matters some what.
Any head with this will be gratefully received.

Hi
Yes that is them on the 1871 census as I had already found them on there. I have Ann's birth certificate and by the date of the 1871 census she had already married hence her not being with the rest of the family.
I have found a marriage for James Harper and Ann Hughes on the IGI in November 1851 at Stepney All Saints, if this is true it means that they had their first child (also James) out of wedlock and that the 1851 census which has them as married must be in error.
It is a tad puzzling at the moment.
Thanks for the help

I just received the marriage certificate for Thomas Donaldson and Joannah Harper in the Parish of Sunderland. Father of Joannah was Archbold. Witnesses were James Harper and Eleanor Harper. The marriage took place August 7, 1853. Archbold was a Joiner and both James and Eleanor signed the certificate with an x...

Hi Alan,
Check out my family tree on Ancestry.co.uk, its a public tree called The Stevenson Family Tree. Do we share the same Harpers? Because I had trouble finding anything too!

There is also this although submitted has a batch no you can search. Oviously you need to confirm info when you get the Marriage Cert.
James HARPER
Christened, 1829, Bethnal Green
Parents, William John HARPER and ELIZABETH
There are 6 children born between 1829-1840. Probably you would be able to find this family on 1841 Census.I havent looked yet.
