Henry Pitt Marriage, look up please
« on: Tuesday 11 March 08 13:13 GMT (UK) »
Hello,

Not sure if this is the correct board for this request, but hopefully if not, someone will move
me to the correct place !

Looking for the marriage of Henry Pitt to Agnes ?
Agnes born about 1835 Berwick upon Tweed
Henry Pitt born around 1828 in Upton on Severn, occupation Baker, son of Henry Pitt and Grace.

I have looked on freebmd, but can't spot anything suitable.
First child Henry born about 1849

Many thanx  :)

you say agnes was born abt 1835
their first child was born 1849
that makes her abt. 14 when the child was born
is that correct?

Hi

Not sure about Agnes, probably guestimate from census records -
Hadn't thought about Henry being married before........ !
Something else to explore perhaps ?

many thanx

I've been exploring this and came here to post the exact same question - only to find it already here.

Have you found the family in 1851?  because I can't.  That might help.

Also, all the children were born in London - so if there were two marriages, the second would h ve been there, I think.  Agnes is even younger in 1871 - b. 1838 !

Thank you all for checking -
perhaps the best next move is to order the birth certificate for Henry junior ?

Not sure why they moved to London tho ?

cheers

No Woozle - me either!

I think Heny jnr. birth certificate is an excellent idea!

Please let us know what it says !


PS:  I guess London was where the work was ... ?

this might be interesting mum44/sandrahumphrey.
1851
HO107/1469/221/72.
james boxall age 47. head.
matilda boxall age 49. wife.
edmund age 17. son.
george.d. age 15. son.
james boxall age 12. son.
henry pitt. age 2. b. kensington. grandson.
living at kensington,brompton,middx.
henry is transcribed as son but on the original image it is grandson
so maybe henry pitt married someone called boxall before marrying agnes
then again maybe this is nothing to do with your henry?
if it is'nt then there will be 2 henry pitts born 1849 around
will have a look at the birth indexes to see.
