Hi Paul

Tell you what, as Im on Christmas/New Year holiday in the county of my birth, I will have a look at the Kidderminster registers the next time that I go to Worcester History Centre (11 JAN) to see if I can find the baptisms for the family members & if I get the time will also search for the marriage details

All the very best

Phil

Happy New Year to you

Hi Paul

This may not be exactly what you want (as I cant find Richard & Francis as parents) -
Kiddermnister St Mary's
14 JUN 1826 Eliza d/o Richard/Sarah Harrington (weaver) Worcester Street
7 JUN 1824 Sarah d/o       "        "          "               "               "             "
I was unable to find a BAP entry for Charles in this parish or St George 1826 - 1831

Also searched St mary's (I think I alsio did St George but dont have my notes books with me) 1780 - 1792 but couldnt find his BAP in Kidderminster.

In the marriage index books at Worcester History Centre there are 2 entries (in the volume I looked at) for Harrington MARs in WOR but neither would be any good for Richard as he would be a child when they both took place.

Sorry but thats the best that I could do in the time I had & beleive it or not this look up took over 2 hours to do with nothing much to show for it.

I hope that this helps you a bit

All the very best

Phil

ps there are other entries in Kidder for Harrington's but none of them are for a Richard - I have a few early BURs  but didnt send them as they may not fit in as yet

Hi Phil.
Thank's for the information.
I can believe it took 2 hours as when i have been searching the time just flies.
cheers.
Best wishes Paul

Hi Paul

Glad that you know the feeling as well, the sickening part is that you nearly always find something that you would like to follow up when your research time is as good as up & you have to get ready go & catch the bus

All the very best

Phil

hi I'm new to this site so you'll have to bear with me as I don't know what information has come to light before BUT I can't see anything regarding Richard Harrington and Frances' Marriage Certificate which I have a copy of.  They were married at the Ebenezer Meeting House in Kidderminster on 24th July, 1840. Richard was a widower and Frances Thompson nee Maddocks a widow. His father was William Harrington, a butcher by trade and hers was John Maddocks, also a butcher.
Regarding the 1841 census. I think that the three children, John, William and Elizabeth, have a surname of Thompson and not Thorson as it looks on the census. The other three children, Sarah, Elizabeth and Charles are obviously Harringtons. I would imagine the mother is Sarah Foxall as mentioned on the forum.

Hi Paul, I think I've spoken to you before, but it's been a few years ago now. I would think that Richard and Sarah must have had more children who had left home before the 1841 census, do you know anything about them? There is a William, born 1811(named after Richard's father?)
on the 1841 census in Kidderminster.
regards
Pat
