Wild hypothesising here..
James King Went was in Barbados, before London then Teignmouh.

In 1845 there is a George Harcourt who is a sergeant in the 1st Royal Regt at St Annes Garrison. Barbados
Wife is Martha and a son Henry John is baptised

But in the GRO regimental births George is 12th foot

Might be two Henry J Harcourts?
This one father is 1st foot again

https://www.rootschat.com/links/01t5y/

Added…but it looks as though that man (George of the 1st foot) is still alive as an out pensioner in 1856 and so if he died before 1859 wouldn’t he have been recorded as Sergeant not Esquire?

What do we think the other Witnesses names are?
Anne Hutton?  Alan/Adam Clarke?


Also..the officiating minister isn’t a regular at the church.
He is James King Went. (Not as in the newspaper)

The marriage record doesn’t indicate that George Harcourt is deceased. Is that recorded elsewhere?

The 1905 marriage certificate does actually say that mother's maiden name was Mary Jones.

But the 1918 marriage has a different maiden name

I see a couple at least of Alice & Nathaniel’s children’s baptisms are in the non-conformist registers.
So I wonder if the George Harcourt death age 30 buried    1 Sep 1842 at Spa Fields (countess of Huntingdon Connexion) is worth pursuing.
£2.50 to look at his death cert

She was (probably) at his funeral in 1891
Have you checked his will?

The witness looks like “Truro” to me too.

Attendant at workhouse (I think this is what Mary McCurdy the attendant says):

Wanders about aimlessy (?) Sleeps badly. Talks to herself.

Yes, I agree, aimlessly
