Who was John HARRINGTON's father

[Newfloridian]

I am currently researching the circumstances of a Court case in 1890 which involved Nottingham chemist Richard Beaumont Harrington (RBH).

Richard was the son of John Harrington and Mary Ann Beaumont and was baptised in Bury St Edmunds on October 18th 1823. I am trying to find a marriage for John and Mary Ann - and also the name of John's father (was he illegitimate?)

The Court case hinged upon how RBH was related to a William Richard Harrington - an organist and Professor of Music - who died intestate in 1889.

Many thanks

Alan
