I’ve found a William Charles Tinniswood on Hawks Road who is an Upholsterer in the 1881 Census. He appears to be the only Upholsterer on the whole of Hawks Road in 1881.

If this is him that would mean William George Cobb’s name was probably a combination of his father William and Harriet’s father George Cobb. William Tinniswood was born in about 1853 according to the 1881 census. Meaning he would have been around the same age as Harriet aswell. What do you think of my theory. Do you think it has any merit to it?

[Neale1961]

I think it has possibility, but needs some more investigation.
I can’t see the baptism records that Ciderdrinker referred to in post #8.
I think you need to check that it isn’t just an error and should be attached to a Tinniswood baptism on the same day / page.
Do you have Harriet Cobb in Kingston or Surrey area in 1881 census?

I cannot find Harriet in the 1881 Census I am afraid. The best I could give you is that by August 20th 1884 she was back in Benson as she gave birth to her final child with this mystery man. A little baby boy Harry Cobb. He died at 8 weeks of age of malnutrition. I also can’t see the baptism records that Ciderdrinker referred to in post #8. If they could post the link to the records for me I would be really grateful. Interesting you mention the surname Harris as Harriet did marry a man called James Harris. I wonder if there is any link there.

[Neale1961]

Harriet had children with a James Harris, but I don’t believe they ever married.

I cannot find any records of them getting married either.

Thank you,

I will check them out

Harriet Ann COBB is shown as my 3rd cousin 3x removed in my tree.   I have some information on her and her children.   I think she may have married twice and had relationships with at least two other men, one of whom was James HARRIS.

I can share an extract of my family tree if that would be useful, if so, send me a PM.
