Harriett Carroll

[Mabel Bagshawe]

Thank you for all the information it has been very useful. As I understand it my ancestor Harriet married a Charles Carroll in Dorking in 1899 but this wasn't his real name - could this have been Herbert Mitchell ?  I know she married Arthur Savage in 1909, would the 1st marriage be annulled if the husband married under an assumed name ?

I think judging by the newspaper snippet posted above that Herbert Mitchell comes after the young man who married her under a false name

I agree re order of the men- Herbert came after so is presumably the father of the later children.
Jon mentioned before was Charles Carroll perhaps Mr Hanns?

The birth certificates (re fathers’ names) and the two marriage certificates would be good but particularly the one to Arthur. Certificates usually give the name the bride is marrying under and then ‘formerly’ which is usually the birth name.

Harriet may well have adopted yet another surname in which to marry A A Savage, 1909, which she just may have done at St Leonard's Church, Denton/South Heighton, Newhaven.

It's only a theory of mine - and I've considered this for a while now - the HANNS could well be a mis-trainscripton (barring the marriage certficate coming available) could be the surname HARRIS.
