Harriet Milner 1771 Ottery St Mary - any other info?
« on: Thursday 09 May 19 17:55 BST (UK) »
Harriet Milner was the eldest of four daughters of Michael Milner and Harriet Kitty Thomlinson married Ottery St Mary 27/5/1770.   I cant seem to find any further information on her.  The others Kitty Jane, Sophia and Amelia all seemed to end up in High Wycombe Bucks.  Help would be much appreciated. Many thanks.

Did the other sisters marry?  Maybe Harriet is mentioned as a witness or mentioned in a will one of them left. 

Or she may have died young, if you have a memorial for her parents she could be mentioned on there.

Probate record for Amelia mentions a niece Catherine Thomas - do you know which sister she came from?

Doesn't look like Sophia married either?  Death for Sophia Milner in 1842.

Kitty Jane Bingley, was that her married name, doesn't name any family on her probate record so does that mean the niece Catherine Thomas must have belonged to Harriet or am I off track with that thought.

Thanks for your input Milliepede
Yes Kitty Jane Milner married William Bingley in 2/6/1808 at Covent Garden.  William died 1828.  Not been able to connect Catherine Thomas.   I wondered if she was Kitty and William's daughter?
Not been able to trace marriages, births or deaths for the other sisters.
Although in the Churchyard at Wycombe there is a headstone with the inscription:

"In memory of Charlotte, Relict of the late Lewis Duval Esq of Marazion, Cornwall; who departed this life 12 February 1845; in the 82 year of her age".
below if goes on
"In memory of Michael Milner and Harriet Kitty his wife of the County of York.
Also Sophia Milner their third daughter who died on 18 Nov 1845"

So there's got to be a family connection there somewhere.  and why does it say County of York?  Not found a connection there yet either!
Charlotte Duval fits with the 1841 census Ive found two marriage notices to Lewis for her one with her surname as Melvill and one as Vincent both same date.
Not expecting you to solve all my comments just thinking out loud.
I appreciate any thoughts, comments info.
Many thanks

Can't place the niece yet.  Course we don't know if she was married or not but she must have come from a sister so assuming the spinster sisters didn't have any children it has to come from a married sister.

So Charlotte can't be another sister because she is somewhat older than the rest so could she have been a sister to Michael Milner?  What year was he born do you know?

Thanks again for those dates Milliepede!
Like you I can only guess that she may have been Kitty Jane & William Bingley's daughter or possibly Harriet's as we have no other info on her. Your suggestion of his sister sounds interesting.
The only info I have so far on William Bingley is his marriage date 2/6/1808 and death in 1828.

I keep thinking the gravestone that links Charlotte and Lewis Duval and Michael Milner of York and his wife and daughter Sophia - must be a link to something!
