Harnwell

[jonwarrn]

That's a pity.
Anyway, the John Harnwell of the 18th Dragoons died 26 February 1809.
Said to have attested at Norwich in 1805
Age 23 (I think it means he was 23 when he attested)

Born at Bressingham, Norfolk
Occupation Linen weaver

That's from a description book in class WO 25 at TNA, on ancestry! No mention of Long on the army records.

The estate duty register for that 1809 administration granted to his widow Mary can be downloaded for free from TNA (preview it with the watermarked image viewer!)

(not working for me at the moment, I doubt it has anything much of any help though)

Possible?

Thank you for all that information. I'm going to have another look at this Harnwell/ Long situation.

 I also checked to see if any emigration was involved and found a John Harnwell b 1802 living in Huron, Bruce County, Ontario, living with son James and wife. He was born in England. May be a shot in the dark.

Thank you for your help Kamar

The John Harnwell who married 2nd Mary Ann Fisk, his first marriage also in Bressingham was to Phoebe Feek 9 August 1830.
She was buried 1 April 1932 age 29.

ADDED
John and Phoebe had a child David baptised Bressingham 1 April 1932, the day his mother was buried so we can say his first wife died in childbirth.

Thank you for your help. I am aware of the marriages and that his parents were John Harnwell and Mary Noble. They were married in 1801 in Bressingham. I now need to locate his father's birth. Mary Noble was born in 1779 in Bressingham, but I can't find a john Harnwell born around that time.
 Appreciate your help. Kamar
