Rose Jane Harrison age 23 of 21 Victoria Promenade, Northampton, married Dexter Thomas Dalley on 25 Dec 1896 at All Saints, Northampton giving her father as Thomas Harrison, collier? page 58 No. 115 of register witnesses William John Dalley (?) and Edith Mary Ward.
Rose Jane Harrison age 23 of 21 Victoria Promenade, Northampton, married William George Smith on 25 Dec 1896 at All Saints, Northampton giving her father as John Henry Cox, groom page 58 No. 116 of register witnesses Annie Cox and John Henry Cox.
Yes, I know, Christmas Day, brandy for the parson and baccy ......
I know Rose Dalley had Henry 1897, Herbert 1901 and Edith 1904. I also know Rose J gave her birth date on the 1939 Register as 7 July 1874.
She may have been living in Bolton as a 17year old cook from Northampton at 1891 census, but would only have been 16.
She may have been daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Harrison of Birmingham in 1881 and 1891 census, but again a year out in age.
Pretty certain she is not Rose daughter of Vincent Frost O'Connor publican, drunkard and adulterer (or so his wife said at the divorce) of Northampton.
I have tried FindMyPast and Ancestry, a number of near fits, but no actual hits.
Covid lockdown and a dodgy knee are enough for me, but Rose really is pushing it too far!
Can anyone offer ideas as to her origins, please?
Thanks
