Hi SKMarshall, I too have a Marshall in my tree, and have very little info: on the family. Do you happen to have come across a Charlotte Marshall chr. 26-12-1782 St. James. Sutton. Her father was Andrew Marshall, no name for her mother. I have wondered where Andrew came from, the only one I have found so far has been in Stokesley. Nrth Yorks. But I cannot be sure that it is the same Andrew.
Charlotte married Daniel Wilson 13-10-1801. Hull.
Daniel was a "Baker" by trade.
Can anyone help me please.

Hi Jill & Yorkslass, I have discounted the Harriet in the Goal, as I have found her and William [her husband] still at the prison on the 1861 Census, William being a prison Warder. So they are out of the frame.I feel sure that the whole family must have been Baptists. And it may also account for not been able to find Harriets birth in Hull.
I think the Beverley connection can be discounted as well, as there are is no evidence for that, and I have the proof that this Harriet did indeed marry Joseph Dale. The family appear on the 1851 Census together.
So I am left with the Salthouse Lane Baptist Chapel as the only connection I have with the family.
Do you know if there is any information to be had on the Baptist Chapel's of Hull ?.
And where I should look for them.
The other family tree you found on Ancestry, is a cousin of mine, and she is in the dark about Harriet, as much as I am.
But strange as it may sound, I finally feel that I am getting somewhere with this family, thanks to you both.

Hi Jill, my word you've been busy. It is so good of you to try to help me like this. You can begin to see why I have been tearing my hair out over.
To begin with, the John Bradbury you saw as witness on the marriage of Thomas & Harriet, was actually what they refer to as a professional witness at weddings. You will come across him quite alot at marriages.
I don't suppose it gave their ages on there did it.
About the Harriet at Preston, I was given this by someone from the Yorkshire family History society, I haven't seen it for myself. But I will take your word for it that it is not her.
As I told you before, my Thomas was a "Dock Laborer", so he could not be the Shoemaker "Cordwainer" in Beverley. So this wipes him off the map as well.
As I said before, I had come across at least 4 other Thomas's & Harriet's around this time.
I will keep it in mind with the Harriot Norris you mentioned as it is a coincidence that her mothers name was Ellen.
Another coincidence. My grt Grandfather Daniel married Charlotte Wilkinson 13-9-1857. St. Mary's. Their first daughter Harriet Wilson b. 5-5-1858. Hull. Married a Samuel Norrie 29-6-1880. St. Barnabus.
Strange how the two names are so alike. I know that the spelling of names was a bit hit and miss, as most people were  illiterate, so possibly didn't even know how to spell there own names. And most probably, strong accents, so that who ever was writing there names down, could have mispelt them.
What do you think.
Any way, as I say Jill, your a star for helping me.
Thanks alot
