Hiya Utting and welcome to Rootschat
www.freebmd.org.uk has 3 deaths 1848 for Harriet Bentley - but none are in Coventry?
Altrincham
Risbridge
York
can you tell us where you got your info please ?
ADDED.....Harriet Bentley - death - sept qtr 1849 ??....,is this her ??
did she give birth to a daughter?
Harriet Bentley christened at St Michaels,Coventry 8th May 1846 - mother Harriet Bentley ....
-
I have those baptism details and also death of 4 months old Harriet in 1846. I gave the wrong date for death f a Harriet. Should have read Harriet 1849 in bmd for coventry. Hoping someone might have access to coventry workhouse death registers 1845 onwards published some time ago. Thanks for such a quick response
-
Do we presume Harriet Bentley never married - died as a young single woman ?...
do you know how old she was when she had Harriet in 1846 ?..
do you have her in 1841 census ?
-
Presumed marriage is to William bentley soldie 1844? Her son and daughter by 1851 in workhouse as orphans charlotte and Thomas.
-
I think that must be her death but ii wonder if there would be more details from the workhouse records
-
We need another pair of eyes on this for someone elses opinion ..
there are DEFINITELY 2 Harriet Bentley baptising babies at St Michaels church Coventry from 1846 to 1848
Thomas Bentley baptised 27th feb 1846 at St Michaels - parents William and Harriet
Anne Bentley baptised same day - same church - same parents ( possible twins ?)
My personal opinion is that these next 2 children are to a different Harriet - no father named
Harriet Bentley baptised 8th May 1846 same church - parent Harriet Bentley (3 mnths after the above baptisms )
Ann Bentley baptised 3rd November 1848 -same church -parent Harriet Bentley
So you have to discover which of these 2 Harriet Bentley died in sept qtr 1849 ....???
Williams wife ?....or what looks to be a single mother named Harriet Bentley
As of yet - you can`t know which one it is can you ???..if so I am missing something ...
any other members see any pointers that may have been missed ??

The Coventry FHS have produced a CD of Workhouse births/deaths from 1845.Costs a fiver.

I assume this is the one you mean.
Cov2811 is offering Coventry Workhouse lookups.
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=307458.0
I notice in 1864 there's a marriage for Thomas Bentley = Sarah Ashley & one of the witnesses is Charlotte Bentley. Father listed as William a weaver.
Is this your family ?

Nothing on the workhouse reg that I can see, however i did find a burial record for Harriett Bentley 30 Sept 1849 age 39 last address Leicester Street common grave
William Bentley burial 20 August 1848 Age 29 Last address Much Park street Hospital
I think that the above Harriett is possibly the mother of the illegitimate children. 1841 census a housekeeper in Berkswell
William Bentley mentioned above i think married Sarah Garner in 1844 St Michael's she is a lodger and a widow on 1851 census
