I searched in the GRO, for George Harveys birth registration.  This will usually give the mothers maiden name.

There is actually two George Harvey's.....one 1839, the other 1841. Both with mmn of Gibbs, in the Wycombe district.

Typical!

I'll have a look at both. I had always assumed that the lack of a father on George's marriage certificate meant that he was illegitimate, but I'd be very happy to be wrong.

Ask BucksfHS for a baptism search. You may be lucky, and it's a lot chaeper than a cert.  The 1839 birth, may have died, and the 1841 birth is their second son of the same name.
You may need to search for a burial for the first.

I also have a Bowler mystery - my ancestor Charles Bowler, who died in the early 1850s:

The 1851 census says he was born/baptised in Princes Risborough, but the only records for a baptism I can find are for one in Farnham Royal on 12 September 1790. As Bucksboy said, they're not far from each other, but that doesn't mean anything without evidence of Charles moving around. Given that there are Bowlers in Princes Risborough before Charles's putative birthdate, I'm more inclined to believe he was baptised there and that the Farnham Royal Charles is a different individual. (Something which gives me no pleasure to say, since that Charles has quite an interesting pedigree).

Wherever my Charles came from, I'm pretty sure I know when and where he got married, thanks to Pallot's - Fingest on 2 January 1808. (To an Ann Newell).

Actually, Bucksboy - do you still have access to the Princes Risborough parish registers? If so, would you be able to search for a Charles Bowler's baptism between 1780 and 1795 for me?

I'm trying to confirm if my data is correct. I have a baptism for Charles Bowler on 1790-09-12 Farnham Royal to George Bowler and Clare Devonshire. Is that the ancestry you were referring to?

This is the Charles Bowler who married Maria Jemina Gristwood on 1815-06-03.
