The ARCHERS of Whitchurch
« on: Tuesday 24 March 15 12:02 GMT (UK) »
I am interested in the children of James Archer and Letitia Golding, who married in Whitchurch in April 1828. James died a few years later, as Letitia re-married in 1843 again in Whitchurch to John Cleverly.

Letitia had three children with James:

Henry GOLDEN/GOLDING/ARCHER (b c1828) - it is not absolutely clear who was the father.

Mary ARCHER (b c1830) - I believe she married John GALE in 1873 in Whitchurch. She is living with her mother in 1871.

George ARCHER (b 1833) - who married Mary Anne STEWARD in Shoreditch in 1860.

Letitia had four children with John Cleverly - Eliza (b 1844), Charlotte (b 1846), Harriet (b 1848) and John (b 1851). All were born in Whitchurch.

Letitia died in Whitchurch in 1874.

I would welcome any information about any of the people mentioned above, but especially about James Archer and the three children he had with Letitia. I believe I have all the BMD information relating to the four children Letitia had with John Cleverly.

The marriage for George Archer to Mary Ann Steward in 1860 lists his father as a John Archer deceased ( labourer ) ..There is also a baptism record for a Henry Golden 27/7/1828 Whitchurch Hampshire father James Golden and Letitia Golden on familysearch

Yes - I have seen the marriage certificate for George Archer. I think since James Archer died young, he considered John Cleverly as his effective father.

Again I knew about the baptism record and the GOLDEN name, but after that I totally lose track of him.

Maybe the baptism of Henry  Golden(Golding) was mistranscribed ??

Possibly Henry was born shortly before parents marriage and baptised shortly after they married - really need to see Parish register

There is a death reg FreeBMD
Henry Archer Dec qtr 1850 Whitchurch 7 175
unfortunately no age given at that time so certificate purchase would be necessary -or burial record

I'm OK for George once he reaches Hornchurch. It is his early years that are problem.

To be fair, James, Henry and Mary are the real problems.

James - clearly died young, as Letitia re-married. But when and where?

Henry - did he marry? And where is he on the census.

Mary - did she marry John Gale? If so, where are they on the census after 1871? And when and where did she die?

This might be the family in 1841 transcribed as Archard
Leren Archard b 1811 age 30 address hard to make out ..Sub registration District Whitchurch /Overton
( Letitia Archer )
Henry Archard b1829 age 12
Mary Archard b 1832 age 9
George ''''''' b 1834 age 7
As Suzard said there is a death for a Henry Archer 1850
Can't see a marriage for Mary to John Gale but there is a death registration for a John Gale 1874 Whitchurch age 70 birth year 1804 ?
