Essex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: HART - Tendring, Canewdon and India

Hi Jeremy,
Thank you so much for the fascinating information that you posted. I will definitely look into learning more about a possible connection between the "Canewdon Harts" and my gg grandfather, William Hart, born +/- 1808 in Tendring, Essex, and who then lived in Canewdon. It may be that William Hart and John Hart (who married Mary Scott) were brothers, as both were carpenters, both were born in Tendring, and both moved to Canewdon, where both married. After 1871, most of my Harts seem to have disappeared, although my research is ongoing. A William Hart died in +/- 1876 in Rochford (district), William James was in the Royal Engineers at Brompton Barracks in 1881, and John, my great grandfather was in Burma by 1879, where he married. I have not found any other members of the family on the 1881 census, so far. So, I'm still looking for Emma Hart (Miller), daughter Elizabeth Jane (born 1847), daughter Jessie (born 1855) son James (born 1859) or son Frederick (born 1862). William James Hart shows up on the 1901 census in Shipton Bellinger in Hampshire, where he was Clerk of Government Works. With him was his wife, Louisa (Adams), but no children.
I would love to go back to England again and explore the area, which is about the only part of England that I have never been to, or lived in. Perhaps one day, I'll get back there again. Until then, I will continue my research from here in Toronto. Again, many thanks for the fascinating information you have provided, I truly do appreciate it. If you should come across any further information about John Hart who married Mary Scott, I would be very grateful if you could share it.
