Sarah Ives - George Harwood. 1866 - St Albans marriage.

[bucksboy]

Hi folks.   Has anyone access to Christchurch, St Albans Pr's, for a peek at this marriage.

6 June 1866.  Sarah Ives(aged 41),(Father, John Ives)), George Harwood(aged 46),(Father, Uriel Harwood)).

Can't find George Harwood in census, but Sarah Harwood(nee. Ives) was easy.

Would like to find out his occupation, which may help track him down.

No place of birth for George Harwood, just his approx. age.(y.o.b 1820/1)  Never found them together, even though Sarah appears to be still married in 1871 census.

Sarah Ives c1825[1830], Abbots Langley, Herts.    Mother, Ann Ives(nee.Boug) b.1788, Great Missenden, Bucks.

Thanks folks.


Steve.

That George may die though in 1865!

[bucksboy]

Thanks for all your efforts folks.   I think he'll remain a bit of a small mystery.   As they had no issue, I think I'll put this to rest now.

Thanks again for the help.

I think this George previously married to Ann is indeed your man.

In 1861 would appear Ann has died (possibly 1858 Warwick) and he is shown with a new wife considerably older than him - an Eliza bc.1801 Preston, Warks - ref Rg9 - 2226 - 102 - 11

He's still alive in 1871 but back in Warwick on his own - lodging - but shown as married - ref. RG10 - 3201 - 42 - 27.

His occupation in 1861 and 1871 is Upholsterer.

Looks like he could have died in Warwick 1876.

Parish records online only seem to show one candidate for his father Uriel - b.13/12/1759, bp.13/1/1760 St. Peter Leeds (, and bur.25/6/1831 Priors Marston (aged at death gives ca.1757 birthdate).

Uriel married an Elizabeth Garnett 14/8/1786 St. Peter, Leeds and one would assume she must have died and he remarried to an Ann.  They had a number of children in Priors Marston but 2 children baptised together 23/4/1800 Mountsorrel, Leicester.

Thanks for that Annette. That's good news!

I didn't see him in 1871- he is listed as Henwood. 

There is quite a bit to be found about Reverend Uriel Harwood but I couldn't match a baptism to him as father of George.

Just found George's baptism on familysearch:

George Harwoode bp.7/7/1817 Priors Marston, son 'Urich' and Ann
also
Emilia Harwoode bp.30/1/1816 Priors Marston, dau. 'Urice' and Ann.

Others under Harwood with parents correctly as Uriel and Ann being:

Robert Smith b.19/1/1804, bp.18/6/1804
Charles b.9/3/1806, bp.26/3/1806
Anne bp.6/8/1808
Maria b.14/4/1812, bp.14/3/1816(?)
Alfred bp.1/8/1820

(plus there were Henry and John both baptised 28/4/1800 Mountsorrel, Leicester).
