Sisters or not and where was the first marriage?
« on: Thursday 09 May 19 13:46 BST (UK) »
Help please I am stuck
Known facts:-
Charles Mason
born 4 Nov 1820 East Woodhay
1841???
1849-1853 Police Officer Southwark
1851HO107/1562 fo360 p30 with wife Ann
1853-1856 Mounted Staff Coy serving in the Crimea
1857 marriage to Harriet Strike nee Castle, St Marylebone, she was a widow he a widower
1856-1865 Policeman Kensington
1871 RG10/  39 fo 31 p 6 with wife Harriet

With Ann he appears to have two children
Gro index shows his daughter Harriet Castle Mason has mother nee Castle
and there is a baptism for Charles John Mason in Burnham Bucks. with father Charles John a policeman and mother Ann but this is the only place where the policeman is given the second name and it is before his Met. Police records have him commencing his police career and the only Charles MASON Registration shows mother maiden name Rooke was this the son shown on the 1851 census?
Neither has a marriage for Charles Mason and Ann either Castle or Rooke been found.
Ann and Harriet Castle were sisters but did Ann marry Charles Mason and if so where and when ? Where was baby Charles registered if he isn't the son of  the mother nee  Rooke?

The GRO index is not yielding that 1848 Eton birth registration so we can get a mothers maiden surname   ::)
