    Default Marriage at St Peters Harborne.

    I know Harborne was in Staffordshire at the time, but Henry was born and lived in Birmingham. I am trying to trace what happened to Henry Harvey b 1821 father Samuel and mother Elizabeth (Nicholls). I have a highly possible marriage in Nov 1848 at St Peters Harborne. Father Samuel, Dead, a comb maker. That fits with his baptism at St Philips Birmingham in May 1822. The bride in 1848 was Mahetavel Mason, father William. I cannot find any trace in the censuses and no deaths or any thing !! I wondered if Mahetavel might have been American.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    I think Henry is actually a Stamper.

    M's baptism, parents William and Ann:

    She died in 1856.

    I had looked all morning on FS and Anc and came up with nothing .. Thank you so much. I will now search for any offspring. I wonder what the correct spelling of her name is and where it comes from?

    Mehetabel is a biblical name.

    There's a baptism at Birmingham St Philip of a Mehetable Mason in 1830 (born 1826), father William.

    Both sites allow you to use the wildcard *. I usually start by replacing all the vowels with *, but because I was familiar with the name Mehetabel I just searched for M*h*t*l*

    Thanks Dundee. I keep forgetting about wild cards. The once or twice I have used them I have failed miserably.
