Who were his parents?

[maggor]

I have few details of John Harrington b 1843 in Wales, who were his parents and when did he pass away?  he married Margaret Harrington b 1844 in Ireland, who were her parents and what was her maiden name? could you please help?

Were John and Margaret living in Fulham, Kensington in 1871 as below??

John Harrington    28 Bricklayer Wales
Margaret Harrington    27 Ireland
James Harrington    6
Mary Ann Harrington    4
Ann Harrington    1

The General Register Index (GRO)  has a searchable birth index which is free   https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/indexes_search.asp
and includes the mothers maiden name   I think the below are Ann and Mary Ann's births and both list their mother's maiden name as Suillivan   

Ann Harrington June  Qtr 1870 Kensington Vol 01A  Page 208  mother's maiden name Suillivan

Mary Ann Harrington  June Qtr 1867 Kensington  Vol 01A  Page 192 mother's maiden name Suillivan

Edit - There is a possible marriage in Sept Qtr 1861 Swansea 11a 630 with two of the people listed being Margaret Sullivan and John Harrington

[Kay99]

Possibly the family in 1881 with Margaret listed as a widow??   https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q273-W364

And possible John in 1851  living in Fulham

Mary Moden 62  Widow  Lodging House Keeper b Ireland
John Harrington    45 Son Widower b Ireland   Garden Labourer?
Patrick Harrington 19 Grandson b Fulham
John Harrington    7 Grandson b Swansea
James Harrington 7  Grandson  b Swansea

This is probably John's death: June 1877
HARRINGTON  John  age 34  Fulham  1a 157

I think this is Margaret and family in 1891 which lists her birth place as Treelee,(Tralee) Ireland

Margerete Harrington    45 Widow b Treelee, Ireland
John Harrington    19  Labourer b Fulham
Mary Harrington    70 Widow Ireland
Michael Madden    6 Grandson

There is a John Harrington in Fulham, in 1841 with older (50) Mary H, probably mum, and children Patrick (1), and Mary (7). There's also in 1841 in Whitechapel a John Harrington (35) b 1806 Ireland, labourer,  with Ellen also 35 and born Ireland, are either of those any use?
Possibly sibling hunts may help?
Think Mary Modem may be same as Mary Harrington from ages.

In 1861 in Fulham Fields there's a John Harrington (52) living alone - think he's down as unmarried, 'tho as we all know that's not always reliable, Ag Lab b. Ireland....

Yes, thanks to you!  they had children James, Mary Ann, Ann, John and lived in Fulham.  I have been searching for years for their background info.  I was told RootsChat was the place to go for help - thanks so much.

The 1861 marriage is the only one I can see for John Harrington and Margaret Sullivan to confirm their parents.   If you do get it let us know the result!

Happy hunting
