Lorrimer's of Kent

[bearkat]

She's in Bower Place Maidstone.
Household schedule number: 177
RG9/501
Folio 76
Page 34

Her place of birth has been transcribed as Boughton under Blean but says Boughton Malherbe.

Her occupation is widow of a retired farmer. This is a correction to a long word which I think says Gentlewoman.

Here's a lovely photo of Clay Hall, Windsor where Sophia was living in 1841

Family story again says that Sophia's 2nd husband John Harrison was brought up by an aunt Mrs Storey after his father died, I can't find any references to her?

FindMyPast have transcribed the surname as Harrisson which is what I think it says.

Per death announcements, John Harrison was 50 when he died, so born circa 1784. I looked for a Harrison/Storey marriage circa 1740-1760 and this one popped up:

Joseph Storey and Mary Harrison, All Saints Fulham, 10 July 1757

Thank you bearkat, excellent research.

Ann or Sophia married John Harrison in 1821 (he died 26 Jul 1834) when she was 29-30, so it's believed that she was married before to the older colonel of Kent. At 1841 she was a widow aged 50 with 7 Harrison children living in Old Windsor

Just noting that three of the Harrison children in the 1841 census were born before the 1821 marriage: Thomas, 25, a sculptor; Frederic 23, an artist, and Clarissa, 20, independent.  From a previous marriage?
