Marriage - George Heath - Harriet Ketcher

[Otakou73]

The 1838 baptism record you mention is most interesting as it gives George’s occupation as a tailor, which is the same as on that of  the son born in 1843.

Is this the baptism?

John Charles Heath
Baptism 21 Apr 1843 Holy Trinity, Guildford, Surrey
Father George Heath occ Tailor Mother Harriet

Did George’s wife Harriet die in 1853 age 31 and did he remarry?

10 Jan 1858 Saint Barnabas, South Lambeth: Guildford Road, Lambeth

George Heath Widower, occ Tailor
Father Charles, Clothier

Charlotte Keene
Father George, hairdresser

Thank you.  Yes. John Charles is the 1938 baptism.
When Harriet Heath died likely a little older than 31 as the 1851 census gives her age as 32.
Charlotte Keene was George Heath’s second wife.
I also have:
1868 baptism Nellie Louisa Robins Heath, mother Harriet Heath, spinster. Quarry Street. Guildford.
1871 census.  Quarry Street. George Heath, Charlotte Heath, Nelly Louisa Heath, 3. G.daughter.
1871 census. High Street, Guildford. James Heath, 72. hairdresser. Harriet Heath, 22, servant.
Harriet emigrated to New Zealand in 1873.
1881 census  Swan Lane. Nelly still with grandparents.
George died 1883.
1891 census Swan Lane. Charlotte Heath, widow.  Abigail Keene, mother.

1851 census shows Harriet's place of birth as Lewes? Sussex

Thanks you.. I have tried every variation of spelling and similar sounding names that I can think of without success.
Although if she was indeed the Harriet Ketcherner on the marriage record and that name morphed into Ketcher, I suppose her surname at birth could have been quite different again.

Witness - W Dendy, Mary Ketcherner

The 2nd witness's name looks to me like Hutchins (or Hitchins), not Ketcherner

[Neale1961]

Witness - W Dendy, Mary Ketcherner

The 2nd witness's name looks to me like Hutchins, not Ketcherner

If you compare that signature with the bride’s sig, you will see the similarities in the writing of the surname.

There is a baptism in Lewes in July 1818 for a Harriott Kitchner, daughter of Samuel and Lucy.

Samuel Kitchener married Lucy Smart in Lewes in January of that year.
