in other words, Eliza was married to her son!

No!  -in-law as a suffix did not only mean what it means today.  A step-child was their child "in the eyes of the law" i.e. they had parental responsibility in legal terms if the child was under age.

A step-daughter or step-son was therefore (possibly and in this case definitely) the daughter or son of their spouse from a previous marriage and described as daughter-in-law or son-in-law.  To all intents and purposes they acted in loco parentis.

Hi all,

I have received email acknowledgement from Portsmouth Council, passing my questions on to a specific department there .... my questions have their own "reference number" now...

So I anticipate an answer shortly.

Ta Tom,

Ah, yes Tom, I think perhaps could be her, but I'm not overlooking the marriage of an Elizabeth PINK to a Robert WARNER in 1813...

Perhaps Mrs Elizabeth Harrison, widow of John,  was formerly widow of Robert Warner, ie nee Elizabeth PINK 
Bit More,

At Alverstoke, Two possible chaps surnamed WARNER married to an Elizabeth
11 June 1804 Elizth ARNOLD to THOMAS WARNER (umm she was abt 65 in 1841, so 1804 is possible)
BUT this next one is interesting to me, there's a surname PINK which occurs in the Ledicott tree too....
11 Jan 1813 Elizabeth PINK to ROBERT WARNER

from memory, there is PINK v LEDICOTT on London Gaz and/or The Times entries re disputes of estate of John Ledicott.

And afterall, I am trying to find a connection between Mrs Elizabeth Harrison of the Keppel's Head, and her neighbours there by name of Ledicott....

Cheers,

JM

JM, Yes that's what I meant, she married Robert Warner, then when he died, she married John Harrison-we would have to get a copy of the marriage cert- maybe someone this rootschat has copies of Marriage details from Alverstoke church-it would indicate her marital status at time of her marriage to John Harrison, it should be widow.

[b]Maybe we would have to ask administrator if such a request could go on another thread?
[/b]


I wonder what was the marital status of John Harrison as well, it must have been widower as well. Just thinking of the terms  of the will and the fact that Eliza Grove is daughter of John Harrison born 1808, so also we want a death of Mrs Harrison, but I think we have covered all this before.

JM,

Now look what I have found!

Hampshire Telegraph and Sussex Chronicle  Monday, October 2, 1820

Married, on Monday last, at Stoke Church, Mr. Harrison, of the Keppel’s Head, Common Hard, to Miss E. Warner, of Queen Street, Portsea.

So that confirms Elizabeth's maiden/married name doesn't it? It also confirms that John Harrison was originally the publican in 1820-that would be Monday 25th September 1820.

JM, I have noticed during my searches that at one time, around 1816 there was a PINK MEAD FARM near Botley, Hampshire so around 14 miles from Portsmouth occupied by a Mr. WARNER!!

That farm still exists.

Oh that's a great find Tom....

I got up early (well its around 4 a m in NSW) and checked the PC,  and there's your post....  Miss Warner, of Queen St Portsea and he already of the Keppel's Head....... thanks ....  I presume "Stoke" Church would be Alverstoke ..... hope so....

It is good to see that marriage was the correct one.  I did point out in reply no 54 (on Saturday) that there was no burial for a Robert Warner in the period 1813-20, which would be necessary for Elizabeth to be his widow on her marriage to John Harrison.  So perhaps she was a spinster.

There is a baptism which might fit for her in Titchfield in 1774, parents Thomas & Elizabeth.

Hi Nell,

Miss Elizabeth Warner.... born 1774 .... wonder if that's the year that was inscribed on her headstone at Kingsdon !  Grin

Just been reading about that church.... 1120 the land presented to the Priory

10 July 1843 the building demolished except for the tower.... So that would indicate Mrs Elizabeth Harrison's funeral was one of the last conducted in that particular church building on that site....... and it explains (at least to me) why her April 1841 will is quite specific about what needs to be on her M I (and its location) but she did not specify the church for the funeral service...  The proposed demolition and the re-construction of the church building would have been fairly well known to the local community....

Many thanks,  (Alas, I have not found that 1774 birth at Titchfield  Cheesy)

Bit More,

This link shows headstones on these images of  the Kingsdon Church and the graves there at various times across several centuries.  Unfortunately the ......   the inscriptions are a tad too small to read...  Wink   

But at least I will be able to provide the Portsmouth Council with some clues to help alter the info on their webpage - with the date of 1856 as the commencement for burials.......

Apologies if I have misinterpreted your post, but it seems there is confusion.

Quote

That is correct: Kingston Cemetery opened its doors for burials in 1856.  It is just along the road from the church of St Mary, situated in the Kingston area of the parish with a cleared graveyard surrounding it.  The cemetery was opened in response to the fact that the graveyard could not deal with the large number of burials from the city.  New churches had been built with no graveyards.  As I said before, all the stones in St Mary's graveyard were cleared in 1933. 

The cemetery is here:

http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/769636
http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/769643
http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/698781

Several other photos to look at in the vicinity.  The cemetery is also located in the grid square which contains the church, shown here with its bare grass covered graveyard:

http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1378799

The site shows the map - St Mary's is the church with the tower, (ie small black square with a cross on top, rather than the one shown by a small black circle with a cross on top in case you are not familiar with the OS markings of British maps).

Some of my ancestors were buried in St Mary's and I have absolutely no hope of knowing where or even if they had a gravestone.  Some of their children were probably buried in Mile End Cemetery, which has also succumbed to development.

Bit More,

Some possible family members for Mrs Elizabeth Harrison nee Warner (c 1774 - 1843)

In 1828 there was a Henry WARNER at 10 Cross St Portsea, a Baker, Grocer and Tea Dealer  Smiley

In 1790's there was a Thomas WARNER, a Blacksmith (Freeman), at Alton while at Botley (Botleigh) there was also a Thomas WARNER, a principal inhabitant  Roll Eyes and a Mercer, Grocer !

Still searching for John Harrison,  - the chap who was Elizabeth Warner's husband...

Cheers,

JM
