I cannot find any of them on the 1841 census. There is another Harriet of similar age with a John and Eliza but they are also on the 1851.
I know that Charles Carter was born in Diss, Norfolk in1813. As a private in the 46th Regiment of Infantry he arrived Fort Regent from Plymouth in August 1839 and left Jersey in June 1841. He went to Ireland, Gibraltar, West Indies and N. America before returning to England in 1848 and was invalided out of the army to pension in January 1849. He is in Jersey in 1851 (see above) and dies in the workhouse in Westminster in April 1858.
Harriet Carter married Henry Ward in Westminster in 1860 and they remained in London.
I don’t know
Mary’s maiden name.
Whether they married in England or Jersey or at all.
Whether she was really from Norfolk or possibly Jersey.
What happened to her.
Birth or christening details for Harriet.
Name, birth or christening details for her brother.
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
