John HARRY & Mrs Margaret HAMLEY
« on: Monday 07 January 08 04:43 GMT (UK) »
I would appreciate look ups please in the hope I can establish that they are mentioned in the Will of John Harry,gentleman of St Kew:
John Harry b ???  dC1763
Margaret his wife,may be Mrs Margaret Hamley who he married 25 Jul 1725 St Kew.Birth/bapt., or death not known.
Richard his son bpt 29 Jul 1740.
Webbers tenement is mentioned in the Will and I have observed that a Margaret Harry,married 20 Sep 1768 St Kew,Richard Webber.
I am trying to determine if Margaret is the same Mrs Margaret Hamley and married previously.
There was at least one Webber family living in St Kew,bpt 1732.1734.1737 and 1739.
The property may have been situated Lower Amble,perhaps then called Lowe Ammell.
Thanks

Hi, trying to work backwards a bit, to understand folk you mention

Richard 1740 is baptised at St Mabyn

The marriage of John Harry of St Kew to Mrs Margaret Hamley is also at St Mabyn
Phillimores reference http://www.ukgenealogyarchives.org.uk/cgi-bin/imageserve.cgi
So it definetly states she was Mrs

Thank you for your help Althea
I have been checking out the Will of John Harry,gentleman of St Kew.
Seems he died C1763 with his son Richard the major beneficiary apart from John's wife Margaret.
I can't be sure but I think his wife was nee Mrs Margaret Hamley.
Webbers Tenement is mentioned in the Will.
I am guessing only that John's widow might have married one of the Webber family.
I hope I am explaining myself.

Hi Lazarus,
Althea asked me to have a look at this as I do parish reconstruction on St Kew.  Mrs was often used to show that the woman was gentry.  I am unable to say whether Margaret Harry remarried however.  You could try looking at the Tithe apportionments for St Kew.

Thank you very much Scottietoo.
Can you please tell me where I may access the Tithe apportionments for St Kew?There is a marriage for a Margaret Harry a few years later.
