7 Charles HARRIS ?c1740-?

m Margaret HAMMOND 1764

BIRTH

Charles probably married in 1764 at Shoreditch, but was then of Christchurch, Southwark. There are many possible baptisms in London IGI, but only two in London Surrey:

C 30aug1732 Charles s Charles & Rebecca HARRIS at St Olave Southwark

C 24feb1740 Charles s Daniel & Hannah HARRIS at St Olave Southwark

However, the Surrey parishes are not well covered by the IGI and more information is needed before this line can be taken further

Charles, son of Daniel, was apprenticed as a joiner in 1752 ( PRO: IR1/19/57):

Charles, son of Daniel HARRIS apprenticed to Richard ELLIOT, citizen & joiner, £10; 1752

MARRIAGE

It is presently assumed that Henry-6 was born 16May1772 and baptised at Shoreditch St Leonard 14Jun1772, son of Charles and Margaret. No other baptisms to these parents have yet been found, and there is only one suitable marriage in UK IGI:

m 26may1764 Charles HARRIS bch of Christchurch SRY & Margaret HAMMOND spr otp minor by licence with consent of Mary HAMMOND widow mother; at Stepney St Dunstan; wit: Martha WATLINGTON, William HAMMOND

The relatively uncommon combination of forenames (Charles & Margaret) suggests that this is the correct marriage; it is in the right area at the right time, and a connection with areas south of the Thames was continued by Henry-6 when he baptised his daughter there in 1805. The 8 year interval between this m and the baptism of Henry strongly suggests that other children were born in this period, possibly in the Surrey parishes not in the IGI.
