Complete - Look up request: Baptism, Children of Edward White & Harriet Cheal

[mph555l]

Hello,

I am currently investigating Edward White (born ca 1795, in Lingfield) in my family tree.
Looking at the census records it looks like he married Harriet Cheal (born ca 1815)
And had two children together. (Emma ca 1835 and Phoebe ca 1847). However I wonder if there may have been any other siblings ?

Also the 20 year age difference between Edward and Harriet has me wondering whether Harriet might be Edwards second wife, and perhaps he might have some children from a previous marriage ? Is this something that I might be able to check out by cross referencing the burial and marriage records ?

Best regards,

/Ian

The IGI does not have coverage of marriages for Lingfield

The marriage certificate of Edward White to Harriet would show whether he was a widower and who his father was.

Marriages Mar 1843 
CHEAL  Harriet    E.Grinstead  7 361
White  Edward     E. Grinstead  7 [_2][_0]_

I have checked the marriage certificate and Edward White was indeed a widower. Now to track down his first wife.

I'll mark this request as completed as I cannot find any records for children of Edward and Harriet other than Phoebe Ester.

Many Thanks,

/Ian
