I am seeking more information on my Great Grandmother Harriet Frost. I think she was born about 1867 in Hawkchurch, Dorset but I cant trace her maiden name. She was married to Charles Frost circa 1884. Any info would be greatly recieved. Cheers David (Frost).

This looks like one of the children's baptisms
Cho Louisa Frost

Crewkerne, Somerset, England
Father's Name: Charles Frost
Mother's Name: Harriett Frost

This is correct but I cant find Harriet's maiden name. David.

One of the childrens birth certificates would give mothers maiden name

Possible marriage Dec qtr 1882
Charles Frost

1891 has them with an infant son age 2 weeks who does not appear on the next census - this could be him. As the child was only 2 weeks old on census the birth registration may not have been done before the end of March therefore getting a June registration
Births June qtr 1891
Frost James
Chard RD 5c 410
Death Sept qtr 1891
Frost James age 0
Chard RD 5c 245
It is quite likely that this couple lost other children so an 1882 marriage would not be impossible
(freereg has a few infant deaths in Merriott)

Hi David

Registered in Tiverton, Devon

Page 429
Hope this helps

Sorry, just realised the date is about 40 years out!

This could be Harriet in 1881 - it ties in with ages on later census and County of birth .
