Notes for Harriet Jane Stopford
Her baptism from the image of the Register, transcript by me:
“ Page 4.
“BAPTISMS solemnized in the Parish of Barton Seagrave in the County of Northampton in the Year 1816
“. . . .
“When Baptized: October 20th
“No: 28
“Child’s Forename: Harriet Jane
“Parents’ Forenames: Richard Bruce
“Parents’ Surname: Stopford
“Abode: Barton Seagrave
“Profession: Clergyman
“Calebrant: W.B.Stopford, Rector
__________________
In 1851 she was not with her brother and mother in the old family home in the Rectory, nor was she anywhere else.
There is a marriage of a Harriett Jane Stopford in 1850 to one of:
Jaon Balderson
John Carrel Bazley
Bartholomew Tunnard
So I searched in the 1851 censuses for all Harriets born in Northamptonshire in 1816 plus or minus one year and came up with none of these three surnames.
___________________
There were five Harriet Stopford deaths from 1845 to 1864.
___________________
Burke’s 2003 Peerage says she married Bartholomew Tunnard. And the parish register marriage record, on Ancestry, agrees.
