Thank you.  I thought it might be which would suggest this is the chap buried on 17th.

I can’t find any Wills recorded on the Government or Ancestry sites so may have to use the FindMyPast link referred to above.

You could be in luck - go to the Borthwick site    You will have to pay to obtain a copy.

I think I have to order the Will on FindMyPast’s link as a last ditch attempt.  In any case, everything here is useful.

Although I make a family tree my ‘passion’ is to write a biography of each couple which gives me the opportunity to set out facts as well as, where needs must, discuss inconsistencies and mysteries and investigate theories and possibilities which may be for someone else to prove, or not, in the future.  So, what you have provided will add to the story.

Burial of Ann Harrison on 23.12.1804 referred to above.  Can you say where this record is please?

Thanks.

The image for Anne's burial entry on 23 December 1804 can be seen at FindMyPast.  The venue was Ainderby Steeple.


Anne, wife of Henry Harrison of Northallerton, was buried December 23rd.

Re the marriage of Henry Harrison and Jane Clough the BT for the marriage can be found on Family Search in the data set of the Durham Diocese BTs. This includes records for Allertonshire in North Yorkshire.

The marriage bonds for Allertonshire are to be found on Ancestry. That for Henry Harrison and Jane Clough can be found by browsing through those for the year 1805. ( There are only 6 records for that year - Henry Harrison and Jane Clough are records 5 and 6).  The record states that he was a widower and a road surveyor of the parish of North Allerton while she was a spinster of the parish of Osmotherley.

Thank you for referral to FindMyPast for the death record of Ann in 1804 which I now have.

The marriage in 1805 of widowed Henry the road surveyor to Jane is interesting.  I'm still wondering if my Henry the calinderer (according to son Thomas' baptism record) who married Ann is the same man who became a road surveyor, married Jane and then died in 1842.

I've asked for the Will referenced above and fingers crossed that will list children as beneficiaries or some other nugget to confirm things ..................
