Hello rosie and rolnora,

Thank you both for your information -I have FindMyPast but could not find that entry!
I am wondering now if John was perhaps married two or three times to an Elizabeth ?  It does say widower in 1809 and there is a 22 year gap between the age of Elizabeth in 1841 and 1851.
This just seems to get more mysterious all the time...
I appreciate your assistance very much.

Kind regards from Joan

Hello again,

I have been sent some info which suggests that John Richards was a widower who married Elizabeth DAWDEY at St Mary the Virgin Church in Dover.  Would it have been possible to misread Dawdey for Stanley or vice versa ? Date was 30 October 1809. witnesses were Wm and Mary Ann Fuller.

Please does anyone have records for St Mary the Virgin church?

Kind regards from Joan

Good morning,

My sincere thanks to all who have replied.

Census 1841 has John and Elizabeth, both 45 yrs with children Sarah and Susanna ages 10 and 15

In 1851 Elizabeth is with son Stephen, age 26, at 121 Charlton Green, labourer's widow.  Her age is difficult to decipher, could be 64 or 67 Piece H. O. 107  163

The children I have found were baptised at St. Andrew's, Dover, Kent beginning with Thomas and Mary 11/08/1816.  Father is listed as labourer on all records.

I do not know if this will assist but it is the only info that I have.

Kind regards from Joan

One tree on Ancestry lists Elizabeth Stanley or Elizabeth Lucy Stanley as wife of John but no proof is given.

Hi all,
I am planning a trip to the UK this summer and am trying to find a marriage from Kent.

Have located 10 children of John RICHARDS and Elizabeth -the first children appear to be twins
 
christened in Charlton on 11/8/1816. No record of a marriage anywhere although one child-

 Susanna,bpt on 10/6/1826 has Elizabeth Lucy written beside it.

I would appreciate any help, please, in learning Elizabeth's surname.

Thank you,

Joan in Nova Scotia

Family History Beginners Board / Sarah Hardy marriage to John Townsend - Billericay, Essex 1841
« on: Monday 09 February 15 20:12 GMT (UK)  »
I am attempting to discover Sarah Hardy's parents.  She is shown as age 28, married on 1851 census and age 43 on 1861 census.  She has also given different places of birth although Vange seems to appear most often.  Would anyone be able to assist in my search - I would be most grateful
as I am planning to visit Essex in July.

Thank you,
Joan in Canada

If this was a passenger list, it would appear to say "to husb" ( husband ) and diamond setter.  She may have been traveling alone.... just a thought.

I can't even imagine how bad it must have been!  Richard Finn died a few years after the marriage and as far as I can ascertain, Jane never remarried.  She did appear to leave the workhouse and was living with her daughter in later life.

Kind regards from Joan
