2 Questions

1) What was the name of JAMES DARRINGTON's first wife and did they have children.

2) Above John Hart married either Mary Anne Darlow or Emma Jacques in D1871 Caxton. What became of them?

many thanks!

Was he married in 1851? Have asked Moderator to move post to Cambs board

Thanks Carole - no, James Darrington unmarried in 1851 - (living with the Topham family.)

Looks like he was an unmarried servant in 1851, and we know he was a widower in 1861, so he married and his wife died between 1851-1861.

From his second marriage, we also know that his father was William Dorrington.

Possible first marriage:
Name: James Darrington
Spouse: Hannah Holden
Father: William Darrington
Age:   29
Birth Date: 1825
Marriage Date: 1854
Marriage Place: Godmanchester, Huntingdon, England

A Hannah Darrington of Gamblingay died in 1860, aged 27 (born c.1833).

I can see three children:

Elizabeth (1856), likely burial in Gamlingay in 1857.
William (1858), likely burial in Gamlingay in 1861.
Jacomina (1860), likely burial in Gamlingay in 1860.

Thanks Queenie 

I wonder if he got married again and was widowed again between 1861 and 1866 before marrying Caroline Hart in 1867?

[Mabel Bagshawe]

I don't think so

If your question is related to Harry Darrington who predates the marriage I think he's Caroline's son. I can;t find a Henry or Harry Darrington birth that would fit that's local (added there's one in Bedford, but he can be clearly found with family in 1871)

RE John Hart, possible FS tree for him here https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/K6QJ-CLP/john-hart-1850 showing wife as Mary Ann Darlow

I agree with Mabel; no reason to think James married again between Hannah and Caroline.

To answer the question about John Hart's marriage, the 1871 marriage in Gamblingay is to Mary Ann Darlow, daughter of William Darlow. It looks like they moved to Shoreditch in London:
