The Great Shelford parish vicar, John Kippey, attended St Catherine's College so, presumably, was allowed to conduct marriages there.

Cambridgeshire / Re: Marriages of Harriet Anne HOY(E) of Little Newton.
« on: Tuesday 30 April 24 13:35 BST (UK) »
The marriage certificate duly arrived confirming beyond doubt that I am indeed dealing with one & the same lady. She married in Zion Chapel, East Road, Cambridge, on 30 Dec 1868: George JONES 23 Bachelor Gunner Royal Artillery son of Edward Duddin JONES an engine driver & Harriett Anne CORNWELL 27 Widow daughter of Edward HOYE a labourer. Address of both given as Calcutta Cottage, Mill Road, Cambridge. Witnesses: Charles SPENCER & Inez Harriet CARTWRIGHT.
Harriet HOY was baptised in St Margaret’s Church, Newton, Cambs. on 10 Oct 1841 the daughter of Edward Hinkins HOY & Ann THARBY who were married in Thriplow on 23 Apr 1825. I suspect that she was the unnamed female HOY whose birth was registered in Chesterton district Q3 1841 with mmn recorded as HARVEY (sic)? Her subsequent history remains as outlined in my original post.
Her second husband, George Edward JONES, later left the RA to work for the India Public Works Dept being appointed to the State Railways Loco Dept in May 1879 and retired in Apr 1904 as Locomotive Superintendent. I believe that they returned from Calcutta to England on 20 Apr 1909 and by 1911 they were living at Fair View, High Street, Harston, Cambs. Her death was probably that registered in Cambridge Q4 1916.
Yet my questions remain unresolved. A ‘widow’ on her second marriage in 1868 but I have been unable to identify a likely death for George CORNWELL beyond that recorded two years later in Bengal 1870 as suggested in Reply #2 to this thread. Even more intriguing, what am I to make of her apparent third marriage (once again as the widow CORNWELL) to James ANTHONY in Furzepore on 14 Nov 1878? They returned to England sometime prior to 1891 when they are found living at Aden Villas, 1 Saxham Road, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.
I think it will take somebody with better access to military records than I currently enjoy to further unravel this conundrum. If you can help then feel free for, at present, I am well & truly scuppered.

emeltom,
Thank you for the suggestion. As far as I know that Harriet CORNWELL never married but I will certainly look into it. Thanks again.

Many thanks to osprey, amondg, & Mabel Bagshawe for their replies. The possible death of George CORNWELL in India is especially helpful as it offers an explanation as to how & why Harriet remarried there. It starts to look increasingly likely that Harriet's (supposed) second marriage reported in Cambridge Q4 1868 was a complete red herring although the 1911 Census for Harston did appear to support the fact. Still some fettling to do but I'm now feeling a lot more comfortable about things. Thanks again to all who responded.

AlanBoyd,
No, you haven't missed anything - it's all part and parcel of the general confusion in this case. I did say that Harriet had 'presumably died' prior to her husband James' remarriage in 1895. But there are (clearly?) two separate lines of inquiry concerning the one (& only) Harriet HOY born in Little Newton 1841 that I tried to present separately.
ciderdrinker,
Thanks for the confirmation. Any idea what the K.L.J. signifies? James had enlisted in the 1st Battalion, Suffolk Regiment, and was living at Roorkee when admitted to Beauchamp Lodge of the Freemasons on 2 Jul 1884. He was still a Sergeant on his discharge from the army on 20 Apr 1886.
Thank you both for your input - much appreciated.

Cambridgeshire / Marriages of Harriet Anne HOY(E) of Little Newton.
« on: Saturday 06 April 24 11:32 BST (UK) »
Can somebody please help me with the reported marriages of Harriet Anne HOY(E) born Q3 1841 in Little Newton, Cambs.
The daughter of Edward HINKINS-HOYE a farm labourer (born Elmdon c1791) & Ann (THARBY), she was baptised on 10 Oct 1841 and left home sometime before 1861 when she is found living with her married sister Emma SPENCER & her husband in George Street, New Town, Cambridge. She was married from that address on 1 Apr 1862 to George CORNWELL in Cambridge Register Office. That much seems secure but I’ve been unable to establish what subsequently happened to George.
A second marriage to George Edward JONES was registered in Cambridge Q4 1868 and in 1911 they are found living together at Fair View, High Street, Harston, Cambs. He was a retired railway engineer (ex-Indian Civil Service) which may explain their apparent absence from any UK records between those dates.
However, the plot thickens. For another marriage reportedly took place in Ferozepore, Bengal, India, on 14 November 1878 when recorded as 'Annie CORNWELL d of Edward INKINS-HOYE' she wed James Walter ANTHONY then serving with the 1st Batallion, Suffolk Regiment, (Source: LDS). They returned to England sometime prior to 1891 when found living at 1 Saxham Road, Bury St Edmunds. James remarried Q3 1895 so Harriet had presumably died by then although, once again, I’m unable to establish exactly when & where. So many loose ends.
I would be most grateful for any confirmation of the 1868 and 1878 marriages cited above. If you are able to help in some way – many thanks.

Just to confirm that that Carole W was absolutely correct in that Charles CORNWELL who married Eliza HALL in Pembury on 11 Nov 1883 was indeed the son of William CORNWELL (1825-1874) & Rhoda DAY (1830-aft 1891) of Swaffham Prior. But how she got there so fast is most impressive - so kudos !
Eliza's illegitimate son Jesse HALL born on Brede Hill in Oct 1880 still eludes me after 1891 but I am confident that I now have a firmer grip on this particular branch of the scattered CORNWELL tribe.
Thanks again to all those who responded - much appreciated.

Many thanks to all who responded to my request. This was exactly the information I was looking for and while there appears to be some heavy lifting to do on what I thought was my (usually) reliable Cambridgeshire CORNWELL database I now feel more hopeful of a resolution to my question.
Carole W must have 'the oud toad's bone' somewhere about her for, it best horse-whisperer fashion, I suspect that she may have put her finger right on it. But please bear with ...
Thanks again to emeltom, Christine53, and Carole W. Much obliged.
