Can't find first marriage for widow.
« on: Monday 21 March 16 09:46 GMT (UK) »
I'm trying to find a first marriage for Harriet Davis, daughter of James and Charlotte Davis, baptised 1826 in Norton, Gloucestershire.
She isn't with he her family in the 1841 census, but could be one of several Harriet Davis's in Gloucestershire.
By the 1851 census she is a servant in Medway, Kent and is now Harriet Neve (widow), I assume the Lucy 'Daves' with her is her sister Lucy.
By December 1852 she is back in Gloucestershire, marrying Charles Webb, on the marriage record she is Harriet Neve widow, father James Davies, so I think it is the same woman throughout.

So who was her first husband, the name Neve seems most common in Kent, so she possibly married there.  But I can't find a marriage for Harriet Davis and a Mr Neve.
Any ideas anyone?
