Birth

28/5/05 RL: Place and year of birth from 1851 Census, supplied by Helen Norton.

Birth

Exchange late August 2005.

Christening

Added by RL 25/8/05 (looks likely to be our girl!)

Marriage banns

(From Modern Transcript); supplied (8/05) by Helen Norton in response to RL request.

Marriage

24/5/19: GL: Date and place of wedding from the HGS Transcription at Findmypast.

25/8/05 RL Date assumed from Banns info. (qv) from Swallowfield PR; seems likely to have taken place at Stratfield Saye (bride's home parish).

Given the ages of Joseph and Charlotte (and noting that he was a widower when they married and 11 years her senior) it rather looks as though Harriet was their youngest child and that while George was not only baptised but had his birth registered (under the then very new system), the arrival of both of his two younger sisters was marked only via religious ritual. {26/8 NB ERROR - no bap. entry for Elizabeth!!} Obviously elder brother David was born before the registration system began. Given the date of Joseph and Charlotte's marriage, one might expect there to have been other children before David; however, whilst any such might well have been living elsewhere by 1851 - any male(s) perhaps even accounting (as parent(s)) for some of the other Dicker births in the RD in the 1850s and 1860s - from Helen's PR info. they don't appear to have been baptised at Swallowfield, so we may never know.
