Daniel Harding marriage Jane Barrett/Barnett

[barratay]

Can anyone help with a lookup on this entry please ?

Around 1848 or so in the London, England, Marriages and Banns, 1754-1921 index on Ancestry there is a Daniel Harding married Jane Barnett, I think this should be Barrett, and Daniel's father is Abraham Harding.

I would love to know any details re this marriage.

My Daniel Harding, son of Abraham, married Jane Barrett/Barratt and emigrated to Melbourne, Australia, I'm pretty sure they were cabin passengers on the ship Lochnagar from London 7Aug1849, or Plymouth 17Aug1849, and in Melbourne they had 3 children starting in 1850, 2 died young but a daughter Esther had a very large family. Jane sadly died in 1855. Thanks for any help ... Wayne

Daniel Harding - carpenter, son of Abraham Harding - Miller, married 2/8/1849 at St Michael, Cornhill, City of London.

His bride was Jane, she appears to have signed with 'Barnett' (no X for her mark), which is the name entered by the officiating rector - no father named. Both are of full age and give their place of residence as H Fagans, Near Cardiff, Wales.

The marriage was by Licence.

The witnessnes are Thomas Thomas and Sarah Sheard (Sarah is also a witness on two other marriages on the same image)

Wow .. thank you .. that's him, his father was a miller .. Jane is a mystery though ... thanks again, Wayne

You need to try and get a copy of the Marriage Licence not sure where you would obtain a ciopy form the London area I live & research 'up north'!

Hopefully someoneon the forum can advise you

Thanks again, Wayne

It may be a typo, but the H Fagan near Cardiff is probably meant to be St Fagan. It is the location of an important museum of Welsh Life. pwholt

Both are of full age and give their place of residence as H Fagans, Near Cardiff, Wales.

It actually says St.Fagan's. Admittedly it does look like an H, but does say St. when you look closely. I have local knowledge on my side, as I can practically see St.Fagans from my window

Pardon my London ignorance - have only ever been to Rhyl!

Thanks for clearing it up for barratay

Thank you too Sue, actually it was his younger brother Daniel, the first one, that was baptised 14 April 1819 and buried 5 days later at St Fagans. This Daniel, the second one in the family was baptised in 1822. You will probably know of Bob Sanders at St Fagans who has very kindly given me a lot of his time and a huge amount of info on Abraham Harding the miller at St Fagans and Esther and their descendants .. finding that Daniel had run off to London to get married and then sailed off with his new wife to a new life 5 days later was a stroke of luck .. He settled in Geelong here then set up an ironmonger and wheelwright shop in Coburg near Melborne .. it's amazing the many connections we can make now. His daughter Esther had 9 children and many of them had large families so there are a lot of descendants. Thanks again and best wishes, Wayne
