I am trying to trace Henry Augustus HARDING born about 1786 - I don't know where but suspect somewhere in the Midlands. He fathered a child in 1818 - Mary Eliza Green HARDING who married Frederick MASCALL in 1839 in Birmingham. HAH was listed as her father - a tin plate worker. A witness at the wedding was 'Eliza HARDING' who could have been Mary's mother (and HAH's wife). A Henry Augustus HARDING died in Birmingham in 1846. He could have been a soldier and may have been in the Americas for a while. Other than that I can find no trace of him anywhere. Can anyone help? javascript:emoticon(':?')

Sadly, I have not discovered anything new. I am trying to establish a birth in New York, the names of both parents, when they arrived in the USA, any siblings, etc. Was HAH a soldier? Did he arrive in the USA as a tin plate worker or did that come later? Do you have any additional information?

HI Robert


I have found no trace of HAH as you put it. I have found the possible daughter Mary who married Frederick Mascall in 1839 in the 1841 census and her fahter is not living near her.
