Ann harvey in 1851 census is sister to wife Sarah Watson.So Ann was Ann Widley.

Sarah Widley married Thomas Watson 1843 as stated before.

Hi everyone
sorry not been in touch but have a had a nasty bug.
Have searched for Harvey - Wildney marraige but canno find.
The 1851 census has Ann Harvey down as sister in law to Sara Watson so does that make her Ann Watson. If so still can't find a marraige.
Was trying to find Thomas and Ann Watson as part of a family in1841 as Thomas di did not marry Sarah Wildney until 1843 but no joy.
Any other thoughts please

thank you
Maddie

The Borough is a neighbourhood abt 1 km S of London Bridge. I don't know the precise boundaries, but it probably is in both Lambeth and Bermondsey.
It is in greater London, in Surrey before the creation of the County of London, when it became part of the Co of London.

This looks like Frederick William's death

Deaths Mar 1860 (>99%)
Harvey Frederick William Bethnal Gn 1c 230

None of which has helped us to locate his birth place for you.

They were baptised at St. Bartholomews Bethnal Green.
His baptism is listed just above Elizas on the original image but he doesn't come up in a search. All the details are the same. Address, Occupation etc.

trying to find parents of john Harvey born 1827 /28 He married Elizabeth and had 2 children, Minnie and Elizabeth,
He appears to have been a carpenter.
In 1851 census may have been a visitor at 25 Remington Street. States he was born in Borough Surrey
1861 - living in Bethnal green. Born in Stratford Essex
1871 - living in Bethnal green with kids - born in London
1881 - living in bethal green with Minnie. Born in Lambeth Surrey.
Problem is can't work out where he was born.

Anyone any ideas please
