Title: Rose Jane Harrison Bigamist marriage 1896
Post by: coelmar on Wednesday 20 May 20 21:43 BST (UK)
     Rose Jane Harrison age 23 of 21 Victoria Promenade, Northampton, married Dexter Thomas Dalley on 25 Dec 1896 at All Saints, Northampton giving her father as Thomas Harrison, collier?   page 58 No. 115 of register  witnesses William John Dalley (?) and Edith Mary Ward.
     Rose Jane Harrison age 23 of 21 Victoria Promenade, Northampton, married William George Smith on 25 Dec 1896 at All Saints, Northampton giving her father as John Henry Cox, groom   page 58 No. 116 of register   witnesses Annie Cox and John Henry Cox.

     Yes, I know, Christmas Day, brandy for the parson and baccy ......

      I know Rose Dalley had Henry 1897, Herbert 1901 and Edith 1904.     I also know Rose J gave her birth date on the 1939 Register as 7 July 1874.
      She may have been living in Bolton as a 17year old cook from Northampton at 1891 census, but would only have been 16. 
      She may have been daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Harrison of Birmingham in 1881 and 1891 census, but again a year out in age.
       Pretty certain she is not Rose daughter of Vincent Frost O'Connor publican, drunkard and adulterer (or so his wife said at the divorce) of Northampton.
       I have tried FindMyPast and Ancestry, a number of near fits, but no actual hits. 

       Covid lockdown and a dodgy knee are enough for me, but Rose really is pushing it too far!
Can anyone offer ideas as to her origins, please?

Thanks

Hi...

Freebmd gives four names on the page.

Catherine Annie Cox
Dexter Thomas Dalley
Rose Jane Harrison
William George Smith..

Is Rose on both marriage certs? If so just an error somewhere.

The actual marriage certs are incorrect.  Suspect the vicar prepared them in advance and got his brides muddled.

The cert for Cox & Smith shows Rose as the bride but the signatures are those of William George Smith & Catherine Annie Cox & their 2 witnesses are surname Cox

Thank You, all of you, for sorting me out.     I feel pretty confident that

1843  Mary Jane Dalley on GRO births
1861  Mary Jane Dalley age 6 on census, dau of John and Ann
1871  Mary Jane Dalley age 17 on census as domestic servant
1874  Rose Jane H Dalley on GRO births   note the H
1876  Rose Jane Dalley baptised at St Andrew, Northampton, mother Mary, no father
1877  William John S Dalley on GRO births
1880  Mary Jane and Thomas Harrison married
1881  Rose Jane Dally dau, and William J Dalley son, of Thos, and Mary Harrison on census
1891  Rose J Harrison age 17 working as a cook in Bolton
1896  Rose Jane Harrison married Dexter Dalley.

Dalley to Harrison to Dalley via Dally and Dalby caused me some confusion, but I'm now sorted, Thanks

   Coelmar.

Thanks good to know - quite confusing, yes. :)
I think, if I recall, that the fathers were possibly brothers.
