Hi,
Thank you to Plain Bob, Trish 1120, Gogogadgetlegs and Clivealbert for your replies even though it is many years after my original post. I never received an e-mail to say that their were recent messages, perhaps because of the time lag. So, it was a surprise to find this follow up, by accident, today.
Harriet Askam was at "school" in Derbyshire in the 1851 census, possibly sent there as her parents had died in 1848 and 1849 respectively. She married Henry Rivett (a hosier) and they had a son Henry Charles Hatfield Rivett in 1861 who moved to the U.S. after his parents died young in 1869 and 1876. Harriet, her sister, Elizabeth Fairburn Askam and her brother John Fairburn Askam, all married in 1854. The other brother, Robert had moved to Victoria, Australia.
As Plain Bob, I was not aware of a way to exchange e-mail addresses, but would be happy to share information. I have already shared a great deal of information and newspaper copies with someone called Ruth who must fit somewhere in your family.
Best wishes,
Belen
