The Henry in Charles in 1841 was aged 15.

This would appear to be his wife's death registration in 1889 -
Myra Harding age 71 Sept 1889 Pontypool Vol 11a Page 69

I use ancestry.co.uk to access the censuses although some people prefer others, but I got this years sub at half price, just over £40 which I think is good for a year, don't know if they've still got the offer on though....

The Henry you have in 1891 is age 67? so born c1824, not 1834?  Undecided I agree with Phil and think that this Henry is likely to be your Fenetta's brother.

In 1841 and 1851 there is another Henry Harding in the "hundred" of South Molton -
1841 - Henry Harding 45 Ag Lab Y (in Knowstone, Devon)
1851 - Henry Hardin 50 Farm Labourer Devon Parra......? (in Molland, Devon) (however hes down as unmarried, I wonder if he could be widowed though and that is why the children are not with parents in 1841 but out working instead)  Undecided

Hi Phil

Thanks so much for your reply.  I feel like an intruder onto your search for Henry!!!!  Embarrassed 
 I never meant that to happen. 

However, I am grateful because I have made a hole into my Henrys rather strong brickwall.

I haven't been able to go back with any degree of certainty prior to 1830.
However I don't have any site subscriptions and don't live in the UK so I am relying on Rootschatters, and FreeBMD etc..

Rootschatters have helped more than any other search I could do.  THANKS Smiley

Thanks for your help again.  P.S.  I hope your search continues with good results.

Regards

Hello Fenetta

I posted a query on the Devon Board regarding the Henry HARDING in South Molton. The reply is available here: http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=403658.msg2724741#msg2724741

As Cat says, it looks as if this Henry was either unmarried or (more likely) widowed by 1841, so unfortunately it doesn't take your search back any further.

From the looks of freereg, no-one has been assigned to transcribe the registers of South Molton, but there does seem to be a local library and museum which could be worth contacting. Have a look at: http://www.northdevonlink.co.uk/south-molton.htm

Finally, the Henry HARDIN that Cat has identified in 1851 probably came from Parracombe. I note from IGI that a Henry HARDING was baptised at Parracombe on 03 JAN 1796  to John HARDING and his wife Mary Toms Harding.  Again from IGI it looks like they married in Parracombe on 28 SEP 1793.

I hope something here is helpful to you.

Kind regards

To everyone who has contributed to this thread, many thanks. There is a treasure trove of ideas and links here, which will take me a while to digest.  I have a feeling that the links between Bruton and Mere will prove to be vital in carrying this research back to earlier generations.

I now have a couple of new directions to follow, and I will probably post separate requests to keep the stands of this inquiry clear.

Thanks to everyone for your unselfish contributions.

Kind regards
