C 24feb1740 Charles  s Daniel   & Hannah HARRIS  at St Olave Southwark

MARRIAGE

 

It is presently assumed that Henry-6 was born 16May1772 and baptised at Shoreditch St Leonard 14Jun1772, son of Charles and Margaret.  No other baptisms to these parents have yet been found, and only one suitable marriage:

 

m 26may1764 Charles HARRIS bch of Christchurch SRY & Margaret HAMMOND spr otp minor by licence with consent of Mary HAMMOND widow mother; at Stepney St Dunstan; wit: Martha WATLINGTON, William HAMMOND

 

The relatively uncommon combination of forenames (Charles & Margaret) suggests that this is the correct marriage; it is in the right area at the right time, and a connection with areas south of the Thames was continued by Henry-6 when he baptised his daughter there in 1805.  The 8 year interval between this m and the baptism of Henry suggests that other children may have been born in this period, but none have been found.
