Hi

I have found an obituary online in the newspaper archives. From the Ripley and Heanor News that has a photo of a relative but the way it has been scanned is too dark to make anything out. Does anybody know if there is any way to see the original copy that has not been scanned and uploaded?

The article is regarding Mrs George Severn, in the Ripley and Heanor News and Ilkeston Division Free Press 04 October 1935

Thanks

Hi sorry for any confusion, its a part of my tree that i have been confused with myself for a while.

I am not sure why the Rootchatter that messaged me believes Jesse to be harriett's father, I believe this was from their own research.

regarding Harriett's family in Greasley in 1841 - Piece number 857 - Folio number 39 - Page 25  the reasons i wasn't sure was because of harriets birth. on her marriage certificate in 1849 its says she is 21? Her death certificate says she was 77 in 1903. The census in 1901 gives 1826, but the 1851 and 1881 say 1828 for birth. But could this just be errors in giving birth year?

The other thing i was wondering was why her sister was with them in Derbyshire not nottinghamshire in 1851, but this could just be from visiting on the day??

But yes the marriage certificate for John SEVERN is JOSEPH SEVERN and Harriet CHAMBERS is WILLIAM CHAMBERS.

Also Dizzifish thank you for suggesting about visiting the local studies, that is very kind of you, I am not that experienced myself so I wouldn't even know where to start if i did that.

thanks

Who believes Harriets father was Jesse chambers.

I thought we had the marriage certificate with father William written on it or am I mistaken ???

Yes sorry the certificate does say William is father but I was just questioning it after the message i got, saying they believe jesse to be the father?

Hi

Thank you for the help everyone. I have received a message from the RootsChatter that Dizzifish has been helping recently. Who believes Harriets father was Jesse chambers.

Before i had the marriage certificate I did find a census for 1841 with Jesse Chambers(1791) aged 50 as a gardener? and Harriet is on this cenus but being born 1826 aged 15.

Does anyone think this could be the right match, its quite confusing! Is it normal to lie on a marriage or could jesse be a grandfather or another relative?

Thank you Dizzifish.
I did come across this but did not feel like it was the same harriet. But perhaps maybe it is.. I just wondered why she has her sister living with her at a young age in 1851, when if this is their, family they are still together in 1851.. ??? would really help if i could find a birth or baptism for harriet but as of yet i can't find anything.

In 1841 she is down as Celina Mitchell 19 but no Harriet there just 4 young Mitchell children.

So if her father was Samuel and Harriets father was William they can't be siblings  :-\

Thank you Milliepede! yes i was hoping there was some kind of link to help find Harriet or her parents from Celina. Maybe a cousin or something if she was baptised as chambers(Long eaton is about 30mins from Greasley), and then her mother remarried as mitchell..? Are witnesses at weddings usually family or could it be anyone ???

 thanks again for helping  :)

There is a marriage March 1842 Mansfield where Selina Chambers and John Goulder  are on the same page.

Thank you, this is interesting. This must be some relation, could it be Harriets sister?
