I am researching Thomas Longley who was born circa 1808 based on the 1851 census for St Peters Street, Maidstone, Kent. His son William was born 10/05/1843, and from his birth certificate it states his mother as Harriet Longley formerly Bourne (I think, it is not clear). When looking on the internet there are two spouses that appear for Thomas, Harriet Browne and Harriet Douglas all without citations. On Ancestry there are records of the marriage of Thomas Longley to Harriott Brown and Harriott Bourn on the 21/09/1833. From the 1851 census, Thomas was born in Addington, Kent. A Search on Family Search has revealed two christenings for Thomas Longley’s, the first in Addington on 30/08/1807 to Nicholas and Mary and the second in Maidstone on 05/04/1807 to James and Sarah. |

This looks like the marriage to Harriet Douglas from Findmypast. This marriage was in 1831:- |

I think that the reason that the marriage in 1833 was recorded twice was that Brown and Bourn look quite similar when written down and the transcriber probably wasn't sure what the correct name should be. |

Have now found a Harriet Bourne who was baptised on 07/06/1804 in Brookland, Kent, which is not far from Biddenden where she says she was born on the 1851 census, so I think this is likely to be the same person. |
