I think the marriages you were given for Harriett and Ann were correct.

Looking at Major Walter Liddiard
you think he went to Canada so you need to find evidence.

Colin it is very helpful if you stick to the same thread to save dplication of work and effort.

Looking at your tree I think you may find it helpful to establish more details about the family you have as each record will give more information to confirm your tree.

Ann 1839 of this family was in London.

But Henry Edward is not with them.
He would of course be of an age to have left home by 1841.

Your Edward is described as a seedsman. Mine is a weaver. There is another Edward and Sarah in Aldbourne but he is a labourer. I think we are talkng about different Edwards. Your Henry is Henry Edward too.

This is the Henry who married Leah Ralph.

So not yours if father is Edward.
His father Thomas was the son of Edward with Sarah Giles.

However reading their are several Edwards in the area and I am not sure if you have the right one.

This is the baptism of Henry on my tree. His father is a weaver.

20-Aug-1826 C Henry LIDDIARD, son of Edward and Mary LIDDIARD of Aldbourne, Weaver 605

Could you confirm the Henry we are following as I am not sure it is the same one.
Was it Henry and Phylis?

EDIT I have tracked Henry and Phylis before. I cannot remember where or when.

Aldbourne is close to the Berkshire borders and people move freely form one to the other.

Best place to look for Aldbourne families is

I have found 11 children between them.

To contact me click on my name and send me a message. I have lots of informaton about this family.

LK

Yes, I received your message, but it's best to keep to the thread so others may be able to help - we all have different subscriptions and knowledge of different records - so something I miss may be picked up by others.

You think Henry's mother may have been Mary Ann or Marianne - but I'm not finding anything on this in the records on familysearch or ancestry.

There's no date for the marriage to Harriet, it was from freebmd which just records the quarter/year, and doesn't give their maritial status or ages at time of marriage. The only way to verify if it is correct is to order the marriage certificate from GRO

The Harriet Jessett and Edward Liddiard marriage is in the June quarter of 1849 (so sometime in April, May or June).

Hi Flip, Have received recent message sent to you?
Regarding the wedding to Jessett Harriet,is there date for it?

Colin

If on the right track, think this is his re-marriage although rather a lot of entries for 1 marriage!

If 1841 is correct, then Ann (or Mary Ann) has died by 1851 and Edward is with Harriett as posted earlier. If you notice, one child on that census is Albert and Harriett is with him after Edward's death as his step-mother:

Hi Colin, welcome back to your thread, thought you'd got lost ;-)

So, is the marriage & christening for Henry the right one? What about the 1841 census - do you think that is possibly the right Edward?

Thank you all for responses.
Potty - Has confirmed the Henry & Phillis Liddiard branch upto and including my Grandfather Ralph.
Maddie -Unfortunately a different part of the tree.
KathleenBell & Pam, Some very intesting infomation,I need to it check out!
Mel Fairy Godmother - On Edward looks as if it could correct.
Flip - You are correct, can I help you in anyway? Interesting about lost at sea!
When information is check out, It imay be now possible to go further in my search.
Thank again, Colin
